16 days to go until City Nature Challenge 2021: Calgary Metropolitan Region

Hi Everyone!
We have just over 16 days to go until the beginning of the 2021 City Nature Challenge! I hope that this will be our biggest and best year yet (now that we have an extra few days of Spring to play with). If you haven't done so already, please join the Project: https://inaturalist.ca/projects/city-nature-challenge-2021-calgary-metropolitan-region.

It's definitely unfortunate COVID-19 is still a major concern and we ask that everyone be safe and have fun during the event. For this reason, we are not able to organize any in-person events this year but will follow a similar course to that of CNC YYC 2020 where we explored the city independently.

Here's a few tips!

April 30- May 3: GET OUTSIDE!!!

Follow all health restrictions and guidelines

Explore your yards, neighborhoods, and local parks - ANYWHERE in Calgary, Cochrane, Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, Airdrie, Chestermere, and Okotoks.

Make as many observations as you can and keep your goals on WILD organisms. Can you make a minimum of 100 observations?

Get creative and look in places you've never looked! (or places where few iNat observations exist). Dig a hole in your garden! Use a Marcro lens or a hand lens!

You may have seen that we now have the website in full-swing. You can find resources and information by visiting https://citynatureyyc.ca/
