City Nature Challenge -Closing at 9am Monday

**Open - ZOOM CALL **
Join us for the final countdown to the City Nature Challenge in the Central Time Zone! The City Nature Challenge officially closes at 9:00 AM Central Time on Monday, May 6th, 2024. The call opens to all interested parties starting at 8:30 AM, with a limit of 100 participants. Registration [LINK ] to join!

During the call, CNC-Admins will snapshot our standings in the Central Zone. This is your chance to be part of the final push for the San Antonio Metro Area to lead Texas/USA in observations and closely on species count. (Call limited to USA participants)

**What can you do before then?**

1. Complete your observations from April 26th to April 27th, focusing on wild species. Especially if you've discovered new species not observed by others.
2. Review your observations activities  on your profile Dashboard and aim for "Research Grade" status where possible. Skip casual observations.

**How to review your observations acitivities:**

- Log in to iNaturalist.org

- Go to your Dashboard ->"Home" tab -> "Your Content" tab. Look for observations not yet at "Research Grade," particularly those from April 26th to April 29th.

- Mitigate Observation (not-Research Grade) these observations by approving or by providing comments to other iNat User(s).
This can only increases our species count if it is a new species not observed in SA-Metro Area but also boosts our Research Grade status, which is crucial for TPWD-TNT reporting.

Let's make the most of these final days of the City Nature Challenge! See you on the Zoom call.
