Explore Hamilton County's Biodiversity

City Nature Challenge 2023

Explore Hamilton County and contribute to the City Nature Challenge 2023 BioBlitz from April 28 to May 1. Everyone is encouraged to participate! 

Hundreds of cities around the world will be calling on their citizen scientists to bio-blitz their community's biodiversity. Locally, the City Nature Challenge is an exciting opportunity for all to learn more about biodiversity in our community. Any wild animal, plant, or fungus is fair game. 

The event utilizes the free iNaturalist platform (web and app) to record your findings. From April 28 through May 1, participants can log photos of plants and animals they see anywhere in Hamilton County. From May 2 through May 8, all the information gathered will be identified and saved to a database. 

Great Parks and the Cincinnati Park Board are thrilled to be partnering together to organize this experience. Simply download the free iNaturalist app and get practicing for the big event!
