Diario del proyecto City Nature Challenge 2024: Hartford + New Haven counties

Happy Friday everyone!

The City Nature Challenge is less than 50 days away, and we are really excited to have had several brand-new iNaturalist users join our project in the last couple of weeks. Welcome to iNaturalist, @carina69337, @jennifer_lynn, and @chel27, we are so happy to have you!

@Hexagonaria and I are working to get the word out about the CNC, and we have had the best luck publicizing the event on social media. That is where many of our new project members are coming from. We could really use your help spreading the word this way - can you each take a minute to do one of the following?

• Post this graphic on your social media: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NCcPupVHD1PM2gDZ5Yoj0A5y3zctgeUr/view?usp=sharing
• Share this flyer with some of your friends, family or colleagues: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17AnYsnbwob__jomEFYtDXv3vd1vuSieO/view?usp=sharing

We put together this Google Document with some suggested text that you can copy and past for an email or social media post: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c8pu_pHIXVBcxo44Eozg87vA8Dw7uYO-Vq86klK1F5g/edit

Now is a great time to plan a nature walk or hike during the CNC on April 26-29! Making observations for our project is also a great way to celebrate during the week of Earth Day.

For any questions, or help putting together an event, you can always email us at cnchartfordnewhaven@gmail.com

Thank you again for your help!
