Diario del proyecto City Nature Challenge 2024: Myrtle Beach and The Grand Strand

We had an incredible event this year.
This was our first year for the competition so I was pretty pleased with the participation. I hope everyone had fun and is jazzed to do it all again next year.

I want to give a special shout-out to our top 5 participants

Excellent work by everyone.

Here is the request part of the announcement. I will be running the 2025 City Nature Challenge for Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. I am pretty good at the technical side of this project but I need partners to help me with promotion. If you are associated with any group or organization that would be able to help me promote the challenge I would like to hear from you.

You can contact me by sending me an email at JimRusconi@gmail.com or you can reply to this message.

Thanks for a great year and I look forward to seeing you again next year.
Jim Rusconi
