City Nature Challenge -Closing at 9am Monday
**Open - ZOOM CALL **
Join us for the final countdown to the City Nature Challenge in the Central Time Zone! The City Nature Challenge officially closes at 9:00 AM Central Time on Monday, May 6th, 2024. The call opens to all interested parties starting at 8:30 AM, with a limit of 100 participants. Registration [LINK ] to join!
During the call, CNC-Admins will snapshot our standings in the Central Zone. This is your chance to be part of the final push for the San Antonio Metro Area to lead Texas/USA in observations and closely on species count. (Call limited to USA participants)
**What can you do before then?**
- Complete your observations from April 26th to April 27th, focusing on wild species. Especially if you've discovered new species not observed by others.
- Review your observations activities on your profile Dashboard and aim for "Research Grade" status where possible. Skip casual observations.
**How to review your observations acitivities:**
- Log in to iNaturalist.org
- Go to your Dashboard ->"Home" tab -> "Your Content" tab. Look for observations not yet at "Research Grade," particularly those from April 26th to April 29th.
- Mitigate Observation (not-Research Grade) these observations by approving or by providing comments to other iNat User(s).
This can only increases our species count if it is a new species not observed in SA-Metro Area but also boosts our Research Grade status, which is crucial for TPWD-TNT reporting.
Let's make the most of these final days of the City Nature Challenge! See you on the Zoom call.
