“Five areas from around the Maritimes have been registered to participate: HRM, the Valley, CBRM, Saint John and Westmorland County, NB. Each of these areas has its own CNC iNat project page. This umbrella project brings all of these individual project together – we have common goals to not only introduce\/promote iNaturalist but to also simply encourage people to get outdoors and explore our part of the world.
\n<\/p>\n

“We will be using the iNaturalist digital platform to record observations, under this project. Signup to iNaturalist today and then join one (or multiple) local CNC projects By joining a project you will be notified when news items are added to the project page.”<\/p>\n

Pages for the three NS sites:<\/p>\n

City Nature Challenge 2020: Annapolis Valley<\/a><\/p>\n

City Nature Challenge 2020: Cape Breton Regional Municipality<\/a><\/p>\n

City Nature Challenge 2020: Halifax Regional Municipality<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is also a Facebook Page:\u00a0City Nature Challenge – The Maritimes<\/a><\/p>\n

“The CNC has two parts. The first is held: between April 24 \u2013 27, During this time participants take pictures of wild plants and animals; between April 28 \u2013 May 3 participants finalize uploading of observations and the community assists with identifying what was found.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u2018City Nature Challenge 2019: Halifax Regional Municipality\u2019\u00a0project ran over the days April 26-29, 2019 and generated an impressive 6839 observations including (approximately) 839 species by 229 observers.<\/p>\n

\u2013 we ranked in the Top 40 of all competing cities for total observations and species identified
\n\u2013 among latitudinally challenged cities, we ranked #1 in observations per capita
\n\u2013 we soundly beat Calgary and Richmond and are the \u201cmost biodiverse Canadian city in the competition\u201d
\n\u2013 We ranked #1 for lichen observations per capita among all cities<\/em><\/p>\n

This year will be different because of Covid-19 related restrictions, and a lot of emphasis placed on backyards and sites close to residences. So Sandy Lake & Environs will likely not be as well covered as it was last year<\/a>, but we can still have fun and hone our nature skills!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
