City Nature Challenge April 24-27
The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is an international event, encouraging people around the world to find and document plants and wildlife in their own cities. This annual four-day global bioblitz runs from April 24-27 here in Nashua.
The Conservation Commission is hosting guided walks at the City’s conservation areas each day during the CNC. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to citizen science by recording observations of wild living things that they see with the iNaturalist app.
