City Nature Challenge & COVID-19
We know COVID-19 is affecting everyone in Los Angeles County, some much more than others. After much thinking, we have decided to keep the City Nature Challenge event scheduled for April 24-27 (observations) and April 28-May 3 (identifications). However, we have made some modifications to the City Nature Challenge to help keep our organizers and participants safe.
Firstly, this year’s CNC is no longer a competition.
Instead, we want to embrace the healing power of nature and encourage the collaborative aspect of the CNC. This will allow people to safely document biodiversity in whatever way they can, even from the safety of their own homes. We urge all participants to carefully follow public health guidelines provided by local governments, as they are changing in real-time. Individual safety and public health are our utmost priority. Please refer to our COVID-19 FAQ page for more information.
As a participant, it is up to you how much or how little you take part! Do only what feels safe for you & your family and is in accordance with all local regulations and be aware that any new directions given by county or city officials supersede information in this or any other City Nature Challenge post.
We encourage you to join our project City Nature Challenge 2020: Los Angeles County. To do so, click on the link and click “Join” in the top right corner. We will be providing periodic updates on the City Nature Challenge here, and joining the project will give you all the information you need to participate in the City Nature Challenge.
City Nature Challenge is about documenting nature where people live, especially in urban areas. In that spirit, here are some ideas for participation in or near your home.
Explore your home or yard
- What can you find in your house?
- What can you see through your windows?
- What are the wild plants or mushrooms growing in your backyard? (weeds count!)
- What insects or other creatures are using the cultivated plants in your backyard as habitat or a food source?
- What observations can you make along the sidewalk in front of your house or apartment complex? (Always be mindful of traffic and safety.)
Outside of your home or yard
- At the time of this post, the cities of Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Pasadena as well as the County of Los Angeles and the State of California have all passed health ordinances closing many businesses and asking people to stay at home. We urge all participants to carefully follow public health guidelines provided by local governments, as they are changing in real-time. Individual safety and public health are our utmost priority.
- Right now, people are allowed to move around outside. When doing so, practice social distancing with people outside of your household (keeping space between people of at least 6 feet) and explore your neighborhood. Think about making observations along sidewalks, roads, or in residential areas. Always be mindful of traffic and safety.
- Look up to spot birds sitting in trees or on powerlines and telephone poles.
- Look down to find insects, crawling on the pavement or underneath leaves.
- What else might you find in your neighborhood?
- Visit your local park, if it remains open. Check both city and county restrictions on park use as it may vary across jurisdictions. Make sure to practice social distancing by keeping space between people of at least 6 feet. Look in the grass, on plants, under benches and tables, and up in the trees. How many species can you find in one location?
Focus on making identifications
- This is something that you can practice now, even before the City Nature Challenge begins. Here is a link to iNaturalist’s video tutorial for How to use iNaturalists’s Identify Page. You may also want to check out iNaturalist’s resources for How to Become a Better Identifier. It has some great tips for both beginner and experienced identifiers.
- Once the City Nature Challenge begins and observations start rolling in, you can start identifying right in our City Nature Challenge 2020: Los Angeles project.
- Attend our virtual ID Party. Stay tuned for more information about how to participate.
If you were tagged in this post, it is because you have participated in past City Nature Challenges. We hope that you will participate in this year’s City Nature Challenge as well. Please join our project to continue to receive updates.
Stay safe, hang in there, and we can’t wait to see what you find - in your houses, in your backyards, along sidewalks - and know that people all around the world are joining you in documenting nature in whatever way they can during these unprecedented times.

Very thankful the CNC is still running this year, thank you NHM team!
Glad to have your participation @diego4nature. We can't wait to see what you'll observe this year!
I can't wait!
Thanks! Two things:
Can you ask that two people don’t enter the same thing simultaneously?
And explain the captive/planted concepts?
The city nature challenge generates an incredible number of records but also a lot of noise. These two simple things might go a long way to reducing the noise. This isn’t a knock on the event, just what I’ve noticed as an identifier (and participant).
Looking forward to it!!
Thanks for your comment @dcoopercem. We tell all of our international organizers and local partner organizations to encourage observations of wild plants & animals. We also tell people to mark any captive/cultivated observations as well. We'll be doing a couple iNat training webinars in April and will hit on that point. I suspect that we'll have fewer people adding the same organism this year since people won't be having group outings, but there may still be some.
@lilianc and @brynna Glad you'll be participating!
