Anywhere, Anytime 

Join the first Central Illinois City Nature Challenge! Help us showcase Central Illinois' underrated biodiversity in a friendly competition with cities around the world. Find wildlife anywhere in central Illinois (this includes animals, plants, or fungi that are not put there or cared for by people), take pictures, and share your observations on the iNaturalist app. Attend the optional iNaturalist training on April 21 and/or the guided hike on April 25. For more info: (217) 896-2455 or Morgan at mduerksen-balk@ccfpd.org.
