It's a snap: City Nature Challenge is a friendly competition to help scientists collect wildlife data

Join a worldwide challenge this weekend and help put your city's flora and fauna on the map.
It's called the City Nature Challenge, and all you need to participate is the free iNaturalist app on your smartphone and some time outside.
The challenge is to see which city can tally the most wild plants, animals, insects, mushrooms, fish, turtles — anything that can be photographed with a smartphone and sent to the app.
The challenge takes place across the globe for four days — from 12:01 a.m. April 30 to 11:59 p.m. May 3.
