Now that we already know the dates for the next City Nature Challenge, we have much more time to spread the word. We need your help!
We will have two informational conference calls next week to help spread the word throughout the DC AND Baltimore metro areas.
Tuesday, Sept 25, 12-1 PM
-and-
Friday, Sept 29, 10-11 AM
Dial-in Number: (712) 770-4035; Access Code: 641361

This year Baltimore is also joining in. We'll be in friendly competition with the Baltimore metro area during the City Nature Challenge itself, but we are joining forces to spread the word and share ideas.
Please share this invitation to regional organizations interested in biodiversity (e.g. Master Naturalist chapters, conservation/environmental nonprofits, parks, nature centers, native plant groups, nature photography clubs, museums, schools, universities, land management entities, relevant government organizations, conservancies/trusts, garden clubs, community gardens, hiking/paddling clubs, etc.).

Thanks, @carrieseltzer! Dates of the 2018 challenge saved and I plan to participate in the 09/29 call.
Unfortunately, I will be away those dates.
Carrie, I'm in Colorado half time these days now, but will help spread the word, and will participate if I am in VA then for sure.
Thanks Suzanne! Hope you're having fun exploring Colorado too! :-D
For everyone else, here are the notes from the two informational calls we had this week. Keep spreading the word throughout the DC and Baltimore metro areas, and remember that they are BIG!
