Calling Families in Fairfield and Westchester Counties!

Join us this weekend in making observations of plants and animals – at a park, a beach or even just in your own neighborhood – April 28 - May 1 as part of a worldwide “bio-blitz” called the City Nature Challenge!

The City Nature Challenge is a bio-blitz-style competition where cities across the globe are in a contest against each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people.

Despite this weekend's rainy weather, this fun competition is a great way to get the whole family involved in conservation efforts! Grab your raincoats and spend some time outside or stay indoors while watching for birds or listening to animals.
