City Nature Challenge Events

Get outside and photograph nature! Go out on your own or with others. You can even join our partners at the events listed below. Be sure to check back in as we will continue to add new events.

Can’t get outside? No problem. Take part from the comfort of a desktop computer and help identify the plants and animals people observe with their cameras. Find more information on how to identify observations.

We are encouraging everyone to follow recommended protocols related to staying healthy, keeping safe, and staying respectful of wildlife and wild spaces.
