The 2025 NC Bioblitz is part of the international City Nature Challenge event and will take place Friday, April 25 through Monday, April 28. You can participate anywhere in North Carolina with these three steps: 1) Find a place to make observations of wild species! Visit a favorite local park, a natural area, or your own backyard April 25-28. 2) Take photos of as many wild species as you can find with the iNaturalist smartphone app or use a camera. You do not need to know how to identify the things you see – the app or website will help you! 3) Submit your observations through the Naturalist website or app, available for Android and Apple! All observations must be uploaded to iNaturalist by May 4 to count toward the NC Bioblitz and City Nature Challenge. Need help getting started?
