GET READY FOR THE CNC AT DBG
Thursday, April 7 | 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. @ Desert Botanical Garden
Walk among the cactus blooms at Desert Botanical Garden and get ready for the City Nature Challenge (CNC). We will be your naturalist guides and teach you about the CNC and how to use the free iNaturalist app. The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is all about urban biodiversity, the plants and animals we live alongside in our neighborhoods and parks. April 29 - May 2, urban areas around the world compete to see who can make the most observations of urban nature using iNaturalist. Last year, the Greater Phoenix Area came in 30th. Can we move up the ranks this year?
