City Nature Challenge Stories & Superlatives 2023
Tell us about your favorite observations and adventures in the field. Submit entries by May 9th.

During our virtual CNC Celebration on May 11th, we'll be looking at some of the standard stats like most observations, most species, most identifications, etc., but we'd like to add some fun superlatives to the mix to highlight.

Tell us what you or anyone else found in any of the categories listed at the end of this form. Please include a link to the iNaturalist observation in your response or upload your applicable photos here. Label the photos by including the category number from below, name and title/subject and location. If the Google link above doesn't work, try this Dropbox link instead. Questions? Email Ana at anakaahanui@gmail.com.

Example photo label: 1_Ana Ka'ahanui_Pawpaw with spider_Bull Run

We want to see you in action and your favorite finds. The photos will help us promote future CNCs.

Please note: By submitting any photos and iNaturalist observation links you are authorizing the use of said photos in social media posts, presentations and other multimedia projects.
