Be a community nature scientist by contributing to the California Biodiversity Week 30×30 Challenge hosted by iNaturalist! The goal of this bioblitz is to find and document 30 wild species (plant, animal, and fungi). Whether you’re an expert or novice, this event aims to connect fellow nature enthusiasts to each other and to Redding’s amazing natural spaces. All ages are welcome, but minors must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must sign a waiver.
How to participate: Download iNaturalist on your mobile device, create an account, and familiarize yourself with how it works. Check out this page for tutorials. Next, you can join the project by opening projects in the menu and searching for 30 Species 2023.
Meet us in the parking lot at the south end of the Diestelhorst Bridge by 9am on Sunday, September 10th. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water and sunscreen. Optional, but useful: a camera with a telephoto lens and/or a clip-on macro
lens for your mobile phone.
