SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Cities around the world will be competing to see who can make the most observations of nature\, find the most species\, and engage the most people in the 2020 City Nature Challenge. Citizen Science events like the City Nature Challenge are important sources of information as we look at urban development and its effect on nature.  The next City Nature Challenge is April 24-27\, 2020 and takes place all across America in thousands of communities. Citizen Scientists of all ages observe nature and species and report their findings.   Here at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden\, we’ll be making observations and taking photos and uploading them to iNaturalist on April 25-26\, 2020 (and you can help too!) Children are welcome to help with a parent. \nThe 2020 City Nature Challenge takes place in 2 parts \nApril 24 – 27\, 2020\nTaking pictures of wild plants and animals. \nApril 28 –May 3\, 2020\nIdentifying what was found. \nOrganized by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. This is a global challenge to better understand urban biodiversity and to get people outside and see the nature around them.

SUMMARY:Tōrō Nagashi Week Events
DESCRIPTION:Tōrō Nagashi Week Activities and Events; September 16-22\, 2019 \nIn the spirit of the Japanese ceremony\, Tōrō Nagashi\, please join us for a weeklong festival as we take time to reflect and commemorate those that came before us. Traditionally\, this late-summer Japanese ceremony honors the memory of loved ones. During the festival of Obon\, it is believed that ancestors come back to spend time with the living. On the final evening of the festival\, paper lanterns are set afloat to accompany the spirits as they depart for another year. Tōrō (灯籠)\, pronounced toh-roh\, means “lantern\,” while nagashi (流し)\, pronounced nah-gah-shee\, means “cruise” or “flow.” \nToro Nagashi activities made possible by Bliley’s.
