But buildings can become part of the climate crisis solution! We’ll cover the major carbon emissions associated with building\, how we can use systems thinking and creative material solutions to lower these emissions (or even take them negative!)\, and how carbon-smart building can advance climate justice. Bring your curiosity and questions to find out how you can be part of this climate solution. \nRegister for free on Eventbrite; we’ll post the Zoom link to participate in the next few weeks.

The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It’s a bioblitz-style competition where cities are in a contest against each other to see who can make the most observations of nature\, who can find the most species\, and who can engage the most people. \nIn light of the COVID-19 pandemic\, this year’s City Nature Challenge is no longer a competition. We want to embrace the collaborative aspect of the CNC this year and the healing power of nature to allow people to document their local biodiversity in whatever way they can. \nWhy participate in the City Nature Challenge?\nThere is nature all around us\, even in our cities! Knowing what species are in our city and where they are helps us study and protect them\, but the ONLY way to do that is by all of us – scientists\, land managers\, and the community – working together to find and document the nature in our area. By participating in the City Nature Challenge\, not only do you learn more about your local nature\, but you can also make your city a better place – for you and other species! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFind Wildlife\nIt can be any plant\, animal\, or any other evidence of life found in your city. \n\n\n \nTake a Picture\nTake a picture of what you find.
