Join the Hilltop Hullabaloo on iNaturalist, April 30 - May 1
Join the California Native Plant Society, Yerba Buena Chapter iand more by taking part in the 2021 City Nature Challenge, organized by the California Academy of Sciences. The City Nature Challenge is a world-wide bioblitz with the goal of collecting as many iNaturalist observations as possible in one weekend in participating cities and surrounding areas! Yerba Buena Chapter bioblitzers will be concentrating our efforts on five local hilltops: Buena Vista Park, Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, Bayview Hill and San Bruno Mountain. This is a fun and COVID-safe way to explore, learn about nature, and collect important data used by researchers and land managers. You can make observations of any species you encounter – beautiful flowers, tiny insects, mosses, birds, everything!
Here’s how it works - sign up for an iNaturalist account. You can make observations on the Android or iPhone apps or upload photos to your computer and make them online. Yerba Buena chapter members will be in the field, but due to the pandemic this event will be self-directed. Email with questions: yerba.buena.cnps.chapter@gmail.com
