Cities around the world will be competing to see who can make the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people in the 2019 City Nature Challenge (CNC). Learn more about the kinds of plants and animals that are living in the Chicago Wilderness region, while also competing against other contending cities. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate. Interesting in hosting your own City Nature Bioblitz? Contact CWRCNC@gmail.com and we'll provide you with "How-to" materials as well as promote your event on the CNC webapge (coming soon.)
