Massachusetts is home to a great diversity of life, from the Berkshires to Boston to the bay. Join us for the Boston City Nature Challenge – a fun competition with cities across the country to document the most species during April 14-18, 2017.
Any observation of plants, animals, fungi, even microbes, in the greater Boston area between April 14-18th will count for the challenge. See the map below for the area we will cover. Download the iNaturalist app, then observe and upload. It is that easy!
