What: City Nature Challenge 2020 Part Two Help Make Identifications
When: Sunday, May 3, 2020 - 12:15am
Where: Your favorite screen
The City Nature Challenge 2020 is the world's largest multi-species bioblitz using the iNaturalist platform.
For Knox County's first year, you all did a pretty great job!
Observations taken between April 24 and 27 must be uploaded by 9am May 4 to add to Knox's count.
Now, we all can use your help in identifying the species that were found. Just log into iNaturalist and help ID all the species within Tennessee. Currently, there are about 1,600 species reported for the state. The number will likely go up during the ID phase.

Thank you!
We will be getting into this.
Today! 4-27-20
Today is the final day to make observations for this year's City Nature Challenge! You can still upload any observations taken between April 24 through April 27 by May 3 at 9am and they will still count for the Knox County project.
For those of you who are outside of a project city, you can still join in on Science Friday's mirror project!
We nearly doubled the prior one day state observations total on Friday but your observations and identifications are still most welcomed!
