Join David Goree, Education Coordinator, for a walk in the park!

Part 1: David will begin by introducing the City Nature Challenge taking place this weekend and show participants the basics on using the documentation and identification application, iNaturalist! Part 2: the group will head out onto the Panther Creek trail and Mesquite trail to observe and identify as many native species as possible! These are unpaved natural-surface park trails. Part 3: black-light stations will be available for you to observe and photograph insects!

What is the City Nature Challenge?
