Prizes! CNC starts this Friday!

Hey everyone!

We’re very much looking forward to the City Nature Challenge starting THIS Friday! Looks like some great weather in CT for us out there this year. A few new notes about the project:

We’re excited to be able to offer four prizes for our Hartford + New Haven Counties project this year:

• First place and runner up for most species* observed (April 26 - April 29)

• First place and runner up for most identifications** completed (April 26 - May 5)
  The prize for each is a one year, household-level membership to Wild Ones (read more about Connecticut’s chapter here): https://mountainlaurel.wildones.org/

Once we kick off on Friday, feel free to tag the project organizers (@hexagonaria and/or @chiforager) with any interesting observations in our counties! Notable observations (rarely seen species, interesting variations, etc.) may be highlighted and shared with the CNC community (see this example from last year: https://ibb.co/pjPdpJm)

Whether you’re shooting for a high number of species and IDs or not, we hope you’re excited about getting out and observing some wildlife this Friday through Monday.
Feel free to comment on this post with any sites you’re planning on visiting.

A warm welcome to new iNaturalist users @zic, @makeupbykristi, @slvdb!

As always, contact us at CNCHartfordNewHaven@gmail.com if you have any questions.

*note that it is number of distinct species, rather than total number of observations
**each individual can only win one prize. In the event the same individual wins both a species and identifications prize, we’ll award the additional prize to the person with the next most species identified.
