23,098 Observations
1,107 Observers
3,098 Species

Huge thank you to everyone who hosted events, observed, identified, and spread the word about the 2023 CNC!

2022

South Florida

We improved on all of our metrics this year with more observations, species and participants than ever before!

11,349 Observations
593 Observers
2,116 Species

Despite beating our own numbers, we dropped in ranking in all categories. There were more competing cities than ever before, and some seriously fierce challengers. However, as South Florida does, we worked hard and celebrated ever harder. Cheers, to our biodiversity!
