North Carolina State University issued the following announcement on March 11.
Join us at our nature preserves and parks to identify plants, animals, insects, fungi, and any other living organisms for the worldwide City Nature Challenge using the free smartphone application, called iNaturalist. Download "iNaturalist" in the Google Play store or Apple App Store.
Raleigh Parks will have information tables at select sites to help those who would like to participate and provide support! By using the iNaturalist app to document your observations, you'll not only help Raleigh compete against other cities around the world in the Challenge, but the valuable ecological information collected will help guide local natural resources management decisions and contribute to international scientific studies.
