Congratulations on a Successful City Nature Challenge!
Hello, and thank you for participating in the 2021 City Nature Challenge: Western NC!
We surpassed all three benchmarks over our 2020 project, which is fantastic! More people posted more observations of more species this year than any year Western NC has participated- and that's all due to your efforts. Thank you! Internationally we placed 50th for overall observations and 25 for species in the world! Way to go!
In addition, we had several individuals post over 100 observations. A big thanks to those in Club 100! Please send me a private message or email me at jmarchal@ncarboretum.org with your mailing address so we can send a North Carolina BioBlitz patch your way.
I'm also excited to announce the winners of our regional competition. This year's Western NC winners are:
Top Observations:
1st: woodbridge
2nd: jackollis
3rd: caseygirard
Top Species:
1st: lenrely

Congratulations to these winners! Also kudos to catattack, our winner of the internal NC Arboretum Staff competition!
Winners: Please let me know if you'd be interested in dropping by the NC Arboretum to pick up your prize package. Alternatively we can mail these to you. Please email me at jmarchal@ncarboretum.org to let me know your preference.
Thanks again! I look forward to another City Nature Challenge in 2022!
