City Nature Challenge 2020: Houston-Galveston

Join Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Master Naturalists, The Nature Conservancy in Texas, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Audubon Society, Galveston Bay Foundation and many others in a fun challenge to see which city can document the most species during April 24 – 27. It is easy to participate by making observations on your own using the iNaturalist app. With the iNaturalist app, you just take a picture of a plant or animal, and the community will help identify which species it is. Any observation from the greater metropolitan area of Houston down to Galveston will count during the four day challenge. You can participate by exploring the life in your backyard or neighborhood. You can also help with IDs for other people’s logged observations to increase our species count. See our iNaturalist online training events below to learn more!

The City Nature Challenge is organized by Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and California Academy of Sciences.
