Invitation to participate in the inaugural York City Nature Challenge from 26-29 April, 2024!

Hello,

For the first time ever, the city of York will join over 450+ cities from all over the world in the CITY NATURE CHALLENGE (CNC), the LARGEST, SYNCHRONIZED, GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY COMPETITION!
Participation is free, easy, and fun, all while contributing to science and conservation action!

All you need to do is take pictures of WILD biodiversity - animals (including slugs, insects, spiders, birds, mammals, snakes, etc.), plants, weeds between built surfaces, fungi, etc. from anywhere within the Greater York boundary (see map) between 26-29 April, 2024. Then upload your images or sounds to iNaturalist and join the millions of people contributing to biodiversity research in their local area. All of your observations will be collected automatically.

As you are the top iNaturalist users in the York city-region, we need your help and hope you’ll be able to participate! (Please feel free to tag anyone else and let them know about York City Nature Challenge 2024!) If you would like to be involved in additional ways during the York CNC 2024, please reach out to us via the interest form: https://forms.gle/oV2udXssicAHKDC56.

Competition Dates: 26-29 April, 2024
Uploading and Identification Period: 30 April - 5 May, 2024
Results Announced: 6-10 May 2024

I hope you can join us in sharing York’s biodiversity with the millions of other people participating in the City Nature Challenge worldwide!
