A twist on a birding “big day,” today we’ll document as many species as we can find (not just birds!) Throughout the day, explore your own park or neighborhood to see how many living things you can find – that includes plants, mammals, fungi, insects, birds, lichens, and more!

Let’s see how many species we can notice in one day – post pictures, videos or nature journal entries about the species you notice on The Big Day in our Facebook event or email them to us. Thanks to the generous support of Citizen’s Bank, Tremont will receive $1 for every photo shared during The Big Day! This is a great way to help raise funds while exploring your environment.

Are you playing along with the Level Up Challenge? Every observation you add to iNaturalist earns one point, and you’ll contribute to community science! Learn more about iNaturalist.

This event is part of our virtual Naturalist Week. Everyone is invited to participate from wherever they are. Learn more.
