Description

Love citizen science? Want to help monitor Indy's biodiversity? Then take the 2021 Indy City Nature Challenge - Social Distancing Edition! Please visit our website for event updates related to COVID19: https://indianasciences.org/events/cnc/cnc-2021/ The City Nature Challenge is an effort for cities to find and document as much urban nature as possible by challenging residents to become citizen scientists: Residents are asked to explore their area (backyard, playgrounds, parks, etc.) for plants and bugs/animals, document their findings (take a photo), and report them (via the iNaturalist website or app). The underlying objective of this event is to develop a new baseline of a city's biodiversity and to monitor how exactly change is accelerating. The City Nature Challenge will be April 30th and May 3rd, 2021 and will be undertaken in hundreds of cities across the world this year, and Indianapolis will be one of those cities competing in this international event! More details will be coming throughout the month, and you can find all of them on the page below! https://indianasciences.org/events/cnc/cnc-2021/ Also, below is the link to our iNaturalist project! https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2021-indianapolis Also, below is the link to the FB event! https://www.facebook.com/events/5018487444888978
