Solano Land Trust is excited to host their second annual City Nature Challenge Bio Blitz! For this community science event, participants will be using iNaturalist to ID and observe plants on site. It’s a great opportunity to practice using iNaturalist with like-minded people, and to develop your skills with the application. Beginners and first-time users are strongly encouraged to attend! Bring water, sunscreen, a charged cell phone and dress in layers. There will also be water onsite. Meet in Lynch Canyon main parking lot and we will caravan to our expansion property.
Started in 2016 as a competition between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the City Nature Challenge (CNC) has grown into an international event, motivating people around the world to find and document wildlife in and around their cities, using biodiversity recording apps and platforms like iNaturalist. Run by the Community Science teams at the California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the CNC is an annual four-day global urban bioblitz at the end of April, where cities are in a collaboration-meets-friendly-competition to see not only what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal, but also which city can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people in the event. Registration is required.
