AWS is excited to participate in the City Nature Challenge 2022! An international effort to identify and document plant and animal species in our cities. In spirit of the City Nature Challenge, you are invited to join with AWS and our partners, Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and Audubon Naturalist Society (Creek Critters program). As we explore Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, you can learn about the aquatic critters that call these ponds home, from mussels, fish and crayfish to dragonfly larvae and leeches. Aquatic biodiversity experts will answer all your questions.  Participants document their findings with the free iNaturalist application, however, you don't need to have the app to join the event.

Physical Level of Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
