City Nature Challenge
April 28, 2023 - May 1, 2023
Observe nature with iNaturalist and help Houston compete for top city in the state, the nation, possibly the world!
Fromm the iNaturalist website: Join The Nature Conservancy in Texas, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Galveston Bay Foundation, Houston Audubon Society, Texas Master Naturalists, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and over 30 other wonderful groups for a fun challenge to observe and record wild species from April 28 – May 1, 2023. It is easy to participate by making observations on your own using the iNaturalist app. With the iNaturalist app, you just take a picture of a plant or animal, and the community will help identify which species it is. Any observation in the greater metropolitan area of Houston will count during the four-day challenge. You can participate by exploring the life in your backyard (and use the hashtag #backyardchallenge on social media), in your neighborhood park, or from an apartment balcony or courtyard. You can also help with IDs for other people’s observations to increase our species count.

Though the location on the website shows Flower Garden Banks as the project location, any observations made in the Houston metro area will be credited to Houston.
