Help us document the biodiversity at Crossways Preserve using iNaturalist. City Nature Challenge is a global celebration of biodiversity in and around urban areas. Over 3.3 million observations and over 73,000 species were identified by 102,945 participants in 2025.
We will work to document as many trees, plants, animals and insects we can find at Crossways.
Participants should bring an electronic device with iNaturalist downloaded and a free account already set-up or a camera. Dress for the weather and be prepared for muddy and wet trails
