Meet us in the lobby of the Main Branch Library to embark on a city nature walk! We will be making observations of wild species growing around downtown Rockford.
The City Nature Challenge is a worldwide movement to document nature and help fight biodiversity loss! Every observation you make of WILD nature is a data point that helps scientists and researchers understand and protect nature for all of us.
