Join the 2025 City Nature Challenge in Lexington, KY! From April 25 through April 28, make observations of wild plants, animals, and fungi anywhere in Fayette County. Your observations will contribute to one of the largest community science events in the world and help us better understand – and therefore, take care of – nature that lives in and around urban areas.

Hundreds of cities around the world are participating in this global event, including four in Kentucky (Frankfort, Lexington, Louisville, Bowling Green & South Central Kentucky).

The Lexington City Nature Challenge is organized by Floracliff Nature Sanctuary.
