Family Programs

Join Butterfly Pavilion to help scientists all over the world with the City Nature Challenge. The City Nature Challenge is a worldwide community science event where community members are encouraged to participate in a bioblitz by using the community science app iNaturalist. In doing so, you will help gather data on biodiversity, changes in the environment, and how different species have evolved and become more resilient to change. Cities compete among three different categories: most observations, most species identifications, and most people participating. On April 27th and 28th at 10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m., join Butterfly Pavilion staff in our gardens to participate in the bioblitz to identify as many species as you can and make Denver the champions of the City Nature Challenge.

Tools Needed:

Location:This program will take place outdoors in Butterfly Pavilion s gardens.
