Join us in the 2026 City Nature Challenge in Butler County, Ohio! You can be a part of this citizen science initiative from anywhere, whether in your own backyard or at any of your MetroParks. All observations in Butler County recorded in iNaturalist from April 24 - April 27 are automatically added to our local project, included in the larger global challenge. Learn more at https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/ Not sure how iNaturalist works? Come see MetroParks educators at Rentschler Forest or Voice of America MetroPark on Friday evening from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM for a hands-on demonstration.
