City Nature Challenge

Boston Area City Nature Challenge

The City Nature Challenge is a fun worldwide collaborative bioblitz with cities across the world to document and identify the most species from April 28 - May 7! We'll be documenting urban biodiversity within the I-495 corridor, out to Stellwagen Bank, including Cape Cod and islands. It’s simple, it’s fun, and it contributes to scientific data helping to better understand our world and our non-human neighbors!


Information on CNC 2023 coming soon!
