2024 Challenge is ready to Join!!!
Hello everyone,
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the 2023 Challenge in April 2023, by making observations or identifications, or both! We need you all, and then some, for the Challenge in 2024!! We did pretty well, finishing 118th of 482 "Cities" worldwide.
Mark your calendars, the dates are April 26-29, 2024. A few days will follow for getting you observations loaded up and identitications made.
You can help me organize, PLEASE! Basically, we need to recruit folks to participate. I spent many many hours sending messages through iNaturalist to get our 92 people. I simply cannot do all that again. However, I'm calling on you now, here, to join, and help with organizing and recruiting. Text me a message that you can help!!! 850-570-6125
I'm going to be teaching an iNaturalist course at FSU's Olli program, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, which will be 3 2-hour classes. Dates and times in the February-April time frame, 2024, TBA.
The 2024 Challenge can be found in Projects, under the "Community" tab in the desktop version. Look for "2024 North Florida & South Georgia City Nature Challenge", and hit JOIN, asap please!!
Duplicating the 2023 Challenge does NOT also copy its participants over, so I have to get everyone recruited all over again. Please sign up asap. At some point, comunication throiugh this specific Forum will end, and will pick up in the new Project
Check out my FaceBook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1031577234909296 for some communications and participation there.
Today was the first iNaturalist Zoom meeting for organizers of the 2024 City Nature Challenge. There are already 5 other Challenge "Cities" signed up!
