Wherever you are, biodiversity is there with you. Get out and observe it!

The City Nature Challenge launches today, April 14th and goes until April 18th. Help us discover Nashville's wildside by getting out and making observations in your backyard, schoolyard, or park. You can also attend one of Metro Nashville Park's 4 BioBlitzes on April 15th.

THANK YOU for all the amazing observations across Davidson County. It's been great to get a peak into what diversity we see around the city!

You can keep observing from now until April 18th. Check out the national leaderboard to see how Nashville is doing: https://nhm.org/nature/citizen-science/city-nature-challenge-2017-leaderboard

We also need all the help we can get IDENTIFYING the observations. Take a look and help us get as many species-level identifications as possible. Remember that species-level verified observations are added to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
