The city nature challenge was quite fun actually. I did not participate in it as much as some of the other kids in our class (for those in it you know who im talking about), but it was still a great experience. It was one of my first times actually using iNaturalist and going through it in depth and I was impressed with how easy and helpful it is. I was also just a huge fan of the concept of the City Nature Challenge, especially after seeing so many people within our lab group and those in other groups so genuinely excited to go outside and participate in it. I only took a few picture because I tend to leave my phone in my room when I go out or at least try to keep it in my bag, but I did get a nice picture while on a hike of some evergreens with a nice view as well as one of the street trees behind my building that I always wondered what was. The opportunity overall is great, and its really nice to see something that challenges people to go outside and get in touch with nature, no matter what it is you’re doing.
