UNCG Campus Nature Challenge
September 30, 2024 - October 6, 2024
The goal of the 2024 Fall Campus Nature Challenge at UNC Greensboro is to engage our campus community in a citizen science project to increase biodiversity awareness by photographing, recording audio, and cataloging the plants, animals (including insects), and fungi during a week-long “bioblitz” on campus. The event will take place from September 30 – October 6.
UNCG students and employees are asked to use the iNaturalist app to identify as many species across campus as they can. Student participants will be awarded prizes for the most observations identified and best photos.
This project builds off of the work of the UNCG Biology Department, which runs and monitors two wetlands on campus on iNaturalist. During the last two nature challenges over 100 participants combined to make 2,300 observations and identified 600 species.
Download the iNaturalist App and join the UNC Greensboro Bioblitz 2024 project.
