Be part of the winning team and help San Diego County win the 2020 City Nature Challenge!
The 2020 City Nature Challenge is a worldwide competition to see which region has the most nature loving residents. It uses iNaturalist to make observations of wild plants and animals over a 4-day period.
This meeting will be held at The Nat. We will cover an overview of the 2020 City Nature Challenge, the resources we can offer partners, as well as an iNaturalist tutorial. After the meeting, feel free to stay and enjoy The Nat free of charge.
Let’s have fun, get outside, and get competitive!

I'll be at Border Field State Park on Saturday morning at 8:30am! Anyone near is welcome to join up for iNatting! If you can't meet here, hopefully you can find a state park near you!
