2023 City Nature Challenge

MOSCOW — The Palouse Conservation District and the City of Moscow will host the 2023 City Nature Challenge: Palouse Region from April 28 through May 1, 2023.

Participants would need to find will wild, not captive or cultivated, plants, animals, fungi, seaweed, bacteria, lichen, and more anywhere in Whitman or Latah Counties.

After finding they take a photo and upload their observations to the iNaturalist app, which local and international scientists will use to observe biodiversity data to increase their understanding of species patterns globally.

Participants can choose how much they wish to be involved, and any observations made in the counties will count towards CNC: Palouse Region.
