Boulder County Wildlife's Journal

Help us show the world how biodiverse Boulder County is by making as many observations of as many species as possible from April 27-30, 2018! Join the Boulder City Nature Challenge project on iNaturalist, and get ready to upload your observations of plants and wildlife found throughout the County!

PRIZE GIVEAWAY:
Patagonia has generously donated two Stretch Rainshadow Jackets (valued at $199 each) that will be awarded to the individuals that have the highest number of observations posted, as well as the most species identified. Just remember, the observations must be taken between April 27-30.

The Wild Boulder team will also host a free kick-off event on Friday, April 27th from 4:00-7:00pm at Foothills Community Park. Join us! Learn more here

The challenge officially starts at 12 am on April 27. That's THIS FRIDAY. Remember, plants, animals, fungi - anything wild living in Boulder County - is fair game.

The 2018 City Nature Challenge will help us find out! Over 65 cities from around the world are asking people to explore nature in their urban areas and document the species they observe. Last year, 126,000 observations were recorded.

Today is the last day of the City Nature Challenge, Boulder! We're at just under 2,000 observations. Let's see if we can get 3,000 by the end of the challenge! Don't forget you can continue uploading your observations to iNaturalist up until May 3rd, but they must be taken during the April 27-30 bioblitz. You have until 11:59pm TONIGHT to capture your final observations!
