City Nature Challenge BioBlitz

Join us for a morning of nature exploration at beautiful Leffis Key Preserve! The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is an international effort to get people outside to document local biodiversity. At this event, we will be using the free iNaturalist app to document as many species as we can find, both on land and in the water, at Leffis Key! Our findings will contribute to Selby Gardens’ Sarasota Manatee EcoFlora Project, as well as a friendly competition among several Florida regions to see who can document the most plants and animals during the CNC! Program suitable for all ages. All you need is a smartphone or GPS-enabled camera, a free iNaturalist account, and a willingness to get out and explore! Our team, and the iNaturalist community, will help you with troubleshooting, photo tips, and species identification. If you would like to wade into the water to help us collect marine creatures, please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet, no flip flops. Program sponsored by Selby Botanical Gardens and the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program in partnership with Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources.
