City Nature Challenge 2021: Nashville

April 30, 2021 @ 12:00 AM - May 3, 2021 @ 11:59 PM

Join the 2021 Nashville City Nature Challenge!

Biodiversity is everywhere, even in thriving urban areas like Nashville. Imagine how long it would take one or two scientists to explore Nashville and catalog all the plants and animals! Instead, we need YOU to be a citizen scientist and document the wildlife you see in your backyard, schoolyard, or local park. During the Nashville City Nature Challenge from April 30th to May 3rd, snap a photo and upload your wildlife observations to iNaturalist. You will be helping us understand what plants and animals call Nashville home. (Technically, the Challenge includes Davidson, Williamson, Sumner, Cheatham, Robertson, Rutherford, and Wilson counties!)

The Nashville City Nature Challenge is organized by the Cumberland River Compact, Warner Parks Nature Center, Metro Parks, and partners across the Middle Tennessee region.
