Bookend events!

We've planned several exciting events bookending the field observation days of the City Nature Challenge.
A good warmup to the Challenge is a kickoff event called The District of Nature, which the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum is hosting on Thursday evening, April 25th, from 6:45pm-8:30pm. Register here:

After the field days shut down on Monday, April 29, we have the rest of the week to identify observations, and we'll try to get as many as we can correctly identified to species level. You can do this on your own, and you can also join one of the ID Parties scheduled around the area. We got about 50% of our observations last year to Research grade, and we'd like to do better this year! See all upcoming ID events here:

Whether you attend for the ID aspect or the Party aspect, it should be fun and informative!
