NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT
City Nature Challenge Event
Friday, April 30 – Sunday, May 2
Join the Mendocino County Museum as we participate in the City Nature Challenge 2021. The goal is to identify and document as many species as possible in our own backyard! To support the City Nature Challenge and generate data about local biodiversity, participants are encouraged to use the iNaturalist app to record their observations. The City Nature Challenge is organized on a global scale by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences.
Stop by the Museum on any of the three days to pick up a special scavenger hunt card and a complimentary copy of the BirdSleuth Explorer’s Guidebook from our virtual exhibit Albatross: Life on the Wind and Sea. Families and nature lovers are invited to explore Commercial St. and the park areas surrounding the Museum. Participants that complete one or more of the activities provided by the Museum will receive a special badge. Simply return to the Museum and share your findings with staff to redeem.
