Friday, April 24th through Monday, April 27th
Independent wildlife study
Visit one of Heritage Conservancy’s preserves, a local park/open space or share your observations from your very own yard!

Enjoy the beauty of nature and be a citizen scientist at the same time! Get involved in this fun, family-friendly event. Pick a Heritage Conservancy preserve, local park, or report on the plants and animals in your very own yard. As you walk the trails and explore, simply take a picture of each plant or animal you find and submit it through iNaturalist to record your finding. Then, identify what you find or let iNaturalist scientists across the world help identify your findings. Enjoy the outdoors, learn about plants and animals, and contribute important scientific data!

This data is vital to our land management work, plus, we’ll be a part of Team Philadelphia in the City Nature Challenge. Unite with people across the world in this global collaborative effort and connection through the healing power of nature!
