City Nature Challenge
The annual City Nature Challenge is a global community science competition to document different plants and animals. The public is challenged to find and document plants, animals, and other organisms within a specific area.
All you need to do is get to a nature area between 28 April and 1 May, take pictures of as many plants and animals as possible and then upload these to the City Nature Challenge database. Your pictures will be identified by specialists, counted, and documented.
