The new project is ready! -- City Nature Challenge April 26-April 29, 2024
As the temperature begins to plummet, preparations begin for the 2024 City Nature Challenge next spring.
The 2024 Winnipeg Region project is up and ready. Joining the project will give you the opportunity to get notifications when the project journal is updated. If you don't like notifications, then just bookmark it in your web browser for future reference.
You may notice that the Winnipeg Region boundaries are a little larger for 2024 - this is to allow all of Oak Hammock Marsh WMA to be inside the challenge area instead of just the southern part. Bird observations are a big part of the April iNaturalist experience in Manitoba and Oak Hammock is a great place to see them.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation helps coordinate the event on the national level. The umbrella project for all the Canadian participants is also ready. You will see the list of participating cities grow steadily over the next few months as they make their projects. If you happen to be out of town during the challenge, you may want to see if where you are travelling has any events planned. :)
If you have any suggestions, beefs or bouquets that you would prefer to remain just between us, you can send them to marykrieger using the iNaturalist messaging system - that little envelope in the top right of the screen.
Happy observing
