daily city nature challenge 2021

The City Nature Challenge is a global citizen science event that brings together cities around the globe in a friendly competition to observe and identify the biodiversity in communities.

Last year, through the participation in the challenge, participants were able to explore local parks, and neighborhoods to observe wild plants and animals that share our environment.

The event was a collaboration between the AIA|DC Urban Design Committee (UD|DC), ASLA Potomac Chapter and Capital Nature, and an opportunity to use the unique skills of architects, urban designers, and landscape architects, to compete and help the scientists get valuable data on the biodiversity of the region – and the planet.
