Join us at the Norman Bird Sanctuary for the City Nature Challenge (CNC)! Whether you're an experienced naturalist or a beginner, the CNC is a chance to get outside, explore, and contribute to scientific research. By documenting the species you find, from little flowers to fungi and more, you'll be helping local scientists track trends in biodiversity and better understand our ecosystems. Pre-registered participants receive free trial admission—just be sure to upload at least one observation while you’re here and share it with us when you are done!
