The countdown begins! (and a note on geoprivacy)
We are hours away from the start of the 2020 City Nature Challenge in Utah!
Northern Utah has a unique blend of urban and wild landscapes. With so many participants in the CNC taking part from home this year, observations will provide a unique look at the urban species we share our cities and towns with. We can't wait to see the results!
GEOPRIVACY:
For those interested in geoprivacy settings, iNaturalist has a short video that shows you how to obscure your observations. Obscuring a location doesn't remove the true location of an observation. You will always be able to see exactly where you were when you made an observation and project curators will also have access to the true coordinates. The general public, however, won't see the true location. Instead, iNaturalist places a circle (rather than the regular balloon marker), randomly on the map, within 10 kilometers of where the observation was made. We don't recommend using the "private" setting because it won't be publicly indexed to a place, won't count towards the CNC, and you also won't get any feedback or identifications from other iNaturalist users.
We are excited to see all of the great observations made this year!
Stay tuned here, and to NHMU's website for more resources and offerings from the 2020 Utah City Nature Challenge Partners!
