From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; free
Explore nature in Van Cortlandt Park alongside other nature-lovers during this year’s City Nature Challenge. This “bioblitz” uses the iNaturalist app to gather observations about nature, and this year, Van Cortlandt Park hopes to be the first to record 5,000 observations in a race against other parks.
“Gathering this ecological snapshot is crucial for our park’s future, offering a fun, educational experience for all involved,” the event posting says.
Attendees should gather at the Van Cortlandt Park Alliance Garden and Compost Site and will receive snacks at the end of the event. For more information on how to prepare for this event — or why these observations matter — see the event posting here.
