We sat down with Texas Parks and Wildlife's Urban Biologist Sam Kieschnick in early March 2020 for a chat about the annual Challenge, scheduled for Friday, April 24th thru Monday, April 27th. While the bioblitzes and other group activities referenced in the interview will no longer occur due to COVID-19 concerns, City Nature Challenge lives on as a non-competitive, citizen science collaboration! Tune in to learn why our observations matter, and be ready come April 24th to capture photos from whatever outdoor space you can permissibly access. Observations of "wild things" photographed in backyards or from apartment patios contribute too!
