Thank you for participating in the 2023 City Nature Challenge! Globally over 65,000 people participated from 482 city teams. There were 1.9 MILLION observations of cataloging nearly 58,000 species of which 2,570 are rare/endangered. Read more about the global event on the 2023 CNC journal.
In our local BioBlitz, we made 335 observations, cataloguing 155 species (8 of which are threatened/endangered). The most popular species to observe was tree swallow. Our observations included:
Nearly 40% are already research grade and can immediately be used for research. Many more will eventually be identified to research grade.
Our BioBlitz also WON the regional Northern Rocky Mountain Biodiversity Challenge. Teton County had the highest per capita participation of all the communities in the challenge. Thanks to the Teton Science School Grad Program for their outreach efforts. Helping at Munger Elementary BioBlitz and the R-Park Educational Event helped get the word out and improve the quality of our observations.
If you had fun participating in the City Nature Challenge, consider participating in future BioBlitzes. These are spread out across the year, which will give an opportunity to explore and record our amazing biodiversity. But you don’t have to wait for a BioBlitz to post observations. Spring is finally here!
