City Nature Challenge 2023: Susquehanna County, PA's Boletim

Thanks to all who braved the rain, sleet, and cold to make observations! You still have time to upload observations that you've made. Pictures taken during the bioblitz can be uploaded until May 7.

There's still time to upload any observation you made from April 28th - May 1st. Uploads must be made by 9 am on May 8th for them to count towards our totals.

We also need people to help with identifying observations made to the project. Go to the observations page and click the Identify button. Add identifications to any observation where you are sure of the species.

Thanks!

Our first City Nature Challenge is in the books! I am grateful and impressed with how you stepped up to participate in the City Nature Challenge: getting outside and documenting our local biodiversity despite the truly horrible weather and helping with identifications; no matter if you made 1 observation or 100 observations , 1 identification or 100 identifications your support and enthusiasm for the CNC is so appreciated.
