SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge: Nighttime Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Calling all community scientists! This program will focus on exploring Floracliff’s ponds and forest edges after dark for the City Nature Challenge. We’ll focus on discovering and documenting frogs\, moths\, and more. Each registered party must have at least one member who has\, or can create\, an iNaturalist account in advance of the program. Be prepared to photograph your findings and upload them to iNaturalist either during the program or by May 3rd. \nBring: water\, closed-toe shoes\, hiking stick (optional)\, camera or smart phone for taking pictures \nHike Leaders: Floracliff naturalists \nHiking level: Easy to Moderate \nPlease note: Bathrooms and facilities are currently closed to visitors. Please come prepared.  This hike will host no more than 14 participants\, who will be spread out at various stations (moth lights and ponds) \n\nCOVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES UPDATE: As of Tuesday\, April 27th\, the state of Kentucky as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated guidelines for small outdoor gatherings. Kentucky no longer requires a mask be worn outdoors for events of fewer than 1000 people. The CDC states the risk of COVID-19 spread is low in outdoor settings\, but also continues to recommend masks in settings where physical distance cannot be maintained. \nIn response to the current guidance\, Floracliff will not require fully-vaccinated individuals to wear masks during outdoor programs as long as adequate physical distance (6-feet) can be maintained between others outside of one’s household/pod. Floracliff continues to recommend unvaccinated individuals wear a mask throughout all programs\, especially when adequate physical distance cannot be maintained between others outside of one’s household/pod. \nAll program participants and Floracliff representatives\, both fully-vaccinated and unvaccinated\, should have a mask available during programs in the case that adequate physical distance cannot be maintained. We are happy to provide one to you if necessary. \n*These guidelines are subject to change at any time according to current state and CDC guidance. \n\nWe are offering City Nature Challenge programs for free\, however tax-deductible donations may be made during check-out. All donations support our work to care for the land and offer programs.
