City Nature Challenge


Help the Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area (including Everett, Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma and any place within Snohomish, King and Pierce counties!) show the world how biodiverse our region is by making observations of local species during City Nature Challenge!

How do I participate?
By taking photos, noting down some basic information and uploading to the Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area CNC project on the iNaturalist platform, your nature observations contribute to our total! These observations help build a snapshot of Puget Sound area biodiversity and provide data for our local scientists, land managers, and governments about the areas they study and care for.
