Unfamiliar with iNaturalist? Download from your app store, create an account, then check out How to Make an Observation on iNaturalist’s website (https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000192921-how-to-make-an-observation).  

Any qualifying observation you make in our regional five county area (Hughes, Stanley, Lyman, Jones and Sully) will automatically be added to our South Dakota Discovery Center City Nature Challenge project. What is a qualifying observation? Anything that is wild and natural, rather than captive or cultivated. For more information on the difference, review this slide deck iNat or iNot? Does this observation belong on iNat for the City Nature Challenge? Or iNot? (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1U5NP3Ytu2jRs3DB0ML6kVTRlv7bHBZo_WyNFEhuRZL0/present?slide=id.p)


We will spotlight observations made during the City Nature Challenge on our social media so get out and observe!
