City Nature Challenge, which takes place from April 27-30, 2018, is a worldwide competition to see which city can make the most observations of their local plants and animals over a 4-day period. And San Diego composes part of one of only 35 biodiversity hotspots in the world, so we should have this in the bag!
The global event is organized by Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and California Academy of Sciences, and The Nat is spearheading our local effort. The goal is to document as many species as possible via your smartphone. The event begins Friday, April 27 at 12 AM PT and ends Monday, April 30 at 11:59 PM PT.
The Friends of Rose Creek is hosting a BioBlitz o Sunday, April 29 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The more people participate and the more observations each of you makes, the more likely we are to elevate the biodiversity information on Rose Creek.
