2021 City Nature Challenge is coming!

We are just 13 days away from the start of the 2021 City Nature Challenge! CNC: The Wasatch needs your help again this year to record as much nature as we can in Northern Utah from April 30-May 3, maybe even toping last year's record-breaking 6,686 observations. Can we do it?! Not without you! To join the fun, all you need to do is:

-take photos of the wild living things (or evidence of the wild living things) you find in Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, Wasatch, Weber and Utah counties from April 30-May 3
-Add them to iNaturalist, and they will automatically count towards CNC: The Wasatch
-Get the word out to your friends and family!
-Join the 2021 City Nature Challenge: The Wasatch project for updates.

Looking for a local event, ways to connect, or fun resources for educators, families, or anyone interested in this year's City Nature Challenge? Visit The Natural History Museum of Utah's CNC webpage for more info: https://nhmu.utah.edu/citizen-science/challenge

We're making this year's challenge a friendly competition between participating Utah counties (Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, Wasatch, Weber and Utah). Who can find the most nature? With your help, it could be your county!
