NYBG EcoQuest April 2018 – City Nature Challenge

CITY NATURE CHALLENGE

If 300 people in New York City make 25 observation a day for the four days (April 27–30), we will win!! That's just 25 observations a day! Let's make sure we win with an overwhelming margin. Make as many observations per day as you can between April 27–30.

The NYC EcoFlora and many other organizations have a series of events during the City Nature Challenge. See the list of CNC events compiled by Kelly O'Donnell.
