City Nature Challenge starts at midnight!

The City Nature Challenge is about to begin!

Here are some questions that are coming up:

Q:How old to I have to be to join iNaturalist? A: 13 and older

Q: What kind of things should I take pictures of? A: Any plant, fungus, or wildlife (insects, snails, mammals, birds, and etc), plus tracks, scat, nests, and other signs of plants or animals count!

Q: Where can I take pictures? A: On trails, in parks, in your yard, on the sidewalk - just make sure you have permission to be in that location. Any photos from Allegheny and surrounding counties will count.

Q: Does it have to be unusual? A: NO!!!! Any life you see and photograph will count, but we will do better if you focus on plants and animals that are wild or weeds. Things that have been planted or raised by humans should be avoided for this project, if possible.
