City Nature Challenge

Started in 2016 as a competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the City Nature Challenge (CNC) has grown into an international event, motivating people around the world to find and document wildlife in their own cities. Taking place April 24 – 27, this global friendly competition is a fun way to participate in citizen science & to contribute to documenting biodiversity!

This year, Martin County will be taking part in the City Nature Challenge!
