Reflection Riding will host the 2022 City Nature Challenge from April 29th to May 2nd, with all-day events on our campus on Friday and Saturday. This is the third year we’ll organize the event for Chattanooga, and we hope you’ll get involved! The City Nature Challenge is a worldwide community science project and this year, more than 500 cities across the world will be participating in the challenge! 

It’s easy to participate; all you do is find and photograph or record wild plants and animals in your backyards or other greenspace using the iNaturalist app. Last year, we had 3,500 observations, 1,100 species, and nearly 300 participants! Want to learn how to use iNaturalist so you can compete? Sign up for the What’s that Thing!? Program any weekend in April!
