SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge

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.
