Abstract:

This spring, Raleigh and the greater Triangle region competed in the nationwide event called City Nature Challenge, coming in sixth place. Competitors took pictures all over the city of animals and plants in order to determine what metropolitan area had the most wildlife. This collection, while a fun competition, also builds a baseline for species occurrence and diversity.
