Calling all Inland Empire ‘power users’! You have submitted more than 1,000 observations (or nearly so) in Riverside and/or San Bernardino Counties. As the City Nature Challenge 2020 swiftly approaches, we are looking to YOU for contributions toward this global collaborative effort to document urban biodiversity. More than 200 cities around the world are working together to explore nature from the comfort and safety of their homes. To contribute, make as many observations as you can from April 24th – April 27th! Mobilize other iNat users you know to help us out! Help Identify and suggest Annotations for observations from April 28th – May 3rd! This will be important for us to improve the quality of observations in our region. Results will be announced on May 4th.
This is the first year that the Inland Empire is participating in the City Nature Challenge and although we won’t be holding any public in-person events this year, we can still make significant contributions with YOUR help! Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further information. Good luck and stay well 😊
