Calling citizen scientists of all ages! For the first time, the St. Louis metropolitan region will participate in the City Nature Challenge, a citizen science competition among 65 cities worldwide to document as much local biodiversity as possible during the same four-day period. From wild plants, insects, birds, and mammals to fish, frogs, fungi, and other forms of life, nature in cities is everywhere. We’re excited to announce that Rockwoods Reservation is an official Host Site of the 2018 STL City Nature Challenge! Over the course of the four-day challenge (April 27-30), we encourage you to visit us on Sunday, the 29th of April for a special tabling event outside of Rockwoods Nature Center. Preparation for the event is super-easy: 1. Download iNaturalist for free, available for iPhone or Android. More info: www.iNaturalist.org 2. Join the 2018 St. Louis City Nature Challenge project: www.tinyurl.com/stlNatureChallenge18 3. Between April 27-30, visit us*, take photos of biodiversity, and upload them into the St. Louis City Nature Challenge project. 4. That’s it! Take a bow! Your data gives us all a better idea of the biodiversity living all around us. * In addition to visiting us, you can also participate in your own backyard, local park, or at any outdoor location across the bi-state area, defined as: City of St. Louis plus 16 counties in Missouri and Illinois; MO - St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Warren, Washington, St. Francois; IL - Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Jersey, Calhoun, Clinton, Macoupin, Bond |
