SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge & Celebrate Trails Day
DESCRIPTION:City Nature Challenge (CNC) is a four-day bioblitz that began in 2016 as a competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco. A decade later\, it has grown into an international event\, engaging people of all ages and backgrounds to find and document wildlife in their own cities. \nDuring the weekend-long challenge\, participants go outside\, take photos or record sounds of wild plants and animals\, and use online identification platforms such as iNaturalist to upload their wildlife observations. These individual observations help promote local conservation efforts. \nThis year\, Kestrel Land Trust is partnering with other local organizations\, including Connecticut River Conservancy and UMass Amherst\, to bring CNC to Western Mass. We invite you to join us in documenting the diverse flora and fauna that make our Valley so unique! \nKestrel is hosting a City Nature Challenge walk\, about 1.5 miles long on an easy-moderate trail. An iNaturalist training session will be included. Group size is limited to 24 people and registration is required. \nSaturday\, April 25\, 11:00 AM – 1 PM at Gloutak Woods in Holyoke REGISTER HERE (transportation available) \n  \nYou Can Also Take the City Nature Challenge on Your Own! Here’s how: \n  \nTo participate on your own or with family and friends. simply follow these steps: \nDownload the free iNaturalist app on your phone. Android. Apple.\nMake an iNaturalist account and join the Western Mass iNaturalist Project (includes Berkshire\, Franklin\, Hampshire\, and Hampden counties).\nApril 24 – 27: Go outside and make observations on iNaturalist.
