I loved the idea of people worldwide going out and taking pictures of nature in their cities. I happened to go to my phenology spot during the first day of this challenge, so I took photos of many different trees and plants that I either recognized or wanted to learn what they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my lab meeting on Monday, I decided to add all the photos of trees on campus into iNaturalist. At first, I thought I could only post trees in a park or a natural area to this project. After I learned that I could photograph any tree, my observations went up dramatically on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I did involving this challenge was attended one of the presentations downtown. I went to the Bees of Burlingont talk and it was so interesting. Hearing someone passionately talk about nature and helping save the environment makes the whole presentation so much more entertaining. Plus, being surrounded by other students plus other people from the area where everyone was interested in the environment was such a good feeling. After this, I wished that I went to more of the presentations and events because it was such an amazing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-518x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-518x1024.jpg 518w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-768x1517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-778x1536.jpg 778w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866-1037x2048.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_1866.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My iNaturalist after the bioblitz!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend, the City Nature Challenge on iNaturalist happened here in Burlington!
