City Nature Challenge Meet Ups

Join the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as they partner with organizations around the Sound for a series of public meet ups for science! We will show you how to participate in the Seattle-Tacoma City Nature Challenge and lead everyone through an observation at the park! Come learn how to observe nearby nature as part of a global event and contribute to community science!

These meet ups are free and open to all ages, no sign up required. All you need is a mobile phone or tablet with data, the iNaturalist app (also free and we can help you download and set it up) and some natural curiosity. We will show how you can help by observing nature, identifying observations, or better yet – both – looking high and low for all nature in the Seattle-Tacoma area (all of Snohomish, King and Pierce counties) and sharing your observations using iNaturalist! Come out and observe with us at one of these events:

Seattle-Tacoma CNC Planning Committee: Woodland Park Zoo, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, Seattle Parks, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife's Habitat@Home Program, Green Tukwila/City of Tukwila. City Nature Challenge is co-organized by San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
