Help Van Cortlandt Park Lead the City Nature Challenge!

Hello, nature enthusiasts!

We need your help. This year, our goal is to be the first park in New York City to log 5,000 observations in the City Nature Challenge Bioblitz (April 26th-29th). We believe the Bronx can lead this charge, showcasing the rich biodiversity and community spirit of our borough.

To jumpstart our efforts, we invite you to join us at the VCPA Garden at 10 AM this Saturday (4/27) for a group iNaturalist session. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow nature lovers, learn more about local species, and contribute to a great cause. You can make observations in Van Cortlandt park anytime over the Bioblitz weekend and have it count toward the race.

Here’s what you can do:

Join our project: City Nature Challenge 2024: Green Space Race at Van Cortlandt Park.

Make observations: Every plant, insect, and animal you document helps our park and our borough shine.

Share your experiences: Spread the word and encourage friends to participate.

Your observations not only help our park gain recognition but also contribute valuable data for conservation efforts. Let's come together to explore, learn, and lead. Show your Bronx pride and help us reach our 5,000-observation goal!

See you in the park,
The Van Cortlandt Park Alliance Team
