The City Nature Challenge is a four-day friendly nature competition that goes on across the globe April 25 to April 28, 2025.

We are competing against 800+ other cities all over the world!

The goal is to see which city can show the most wildlife in their area, including wild plants, animals, insects, mushrooms, fish, turtles — everything! Let’s show off Baton Rouge’s amazing wildlife diversity and unique ecosystems.
