City Nature Challenge
April 26 - 28, 2024 10:00AM - 4:00PM
Get outside. Watch nature. ID and discover. All ages.
Help the Puget Sound area (including Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, Everett and any place within Snohomish, King and Pierce counties!) show the world how biodiverse our region is by making observations of local species during City Nature Challenge!
Note: The City Nature Challenge is free. If you want to do the challenge with a group and take a guided walk at Northwest Trek (details below), you must pay park admission.
