City Nature Challenge 2025 at the Mill Pond
Sunday, April 27th | 10am to 1pm
Hester & Piero’s Mill Pond, Van Cortlandt Park
Help put Van Cortlandt Park—and the Bronx—on the map for the 
City Nature Challenge, 
a global bioblitz where cities compete to record the most observations of local wildlife and plants. Together, we’ll spotlight the biodiversity that makes our park special.
We’re also racing NYC parks in the 
Greenspace Race
—and aiming to be the first to reach 
5,000 recorded observations
. Your photos and finds could help push us over the top!
What to Expect:
Macroinvertebrate Discovery
: We’ll have leaf packs set up in advance to attract aquatic critters—dip in and see what’s living in the pond!
Guided Mini-Hikes
: Join short walks to explore different habitats and log more species.
iNaturalist Tips
: VCPA staff will be on hand to help you use the iNaturalist app and make high-quality observations.
Snacks + Stats
: At the end, we’ll regroup for refreshments and celebrate the biodiversity snapshot we created together.
Why It Matters:
Your observations contribute to real data that informs conservation, community science, and the future of our park. Plus—it’s fun, eye-opening, and a great way to connect with nature in the Bronx.
