To participate in the friendly competition, download the iNaturalist app, then head outside to snap photos of plants, fungi and wildlife. Don’t let the word “city” fool you – observations can be made anywhere in Volusia County, including your own backyard. You can share your photos through the iNaturalist app using #CNCVolusia2023.
