We are very excited to be joining the City Nature Challenge for 2022!
The City Nature Challenge, an international event organized by the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences, is coming to
Bolton this spring! Sponsored by the Conservation Commission (CC), we invite folks from everywhere to
observe and record nature in Bolton from April 29-May 2, with the ID phase occurring May 3-8 and international results announced May 9. Enjoy time out and
about in the outdoors and help document the wild things that live and grow in Bolton.
The easiest way to participate is to use the iNaturalist platform on any camera-equipped device and take pictures of whatever wild organisms you observe during the event. As we get closer to it, we will be offering some sessions to help you get started on iNat and help you learn to make observations that will get strong identifications.
The CC will gladly support our citizen scientists' efforts during this challenge. If you want to get ahead of the ball and make sure a session is being offered at a good time for you, please contact me and we'll see if we can put something on the calendar that will work for you!
Don't worry if you can't identify all the things you see- starting May 3 teams of people will be working on Identifications to help you figure out what you observed.
See you out there!
