DESCRIPTION:(VA) (Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail) Help document and learn more about animal and plant species on the Mount Vernon Trail.

SUMMARY:CNC Observation with DC Master Naturalists
DESCRIPTION:(VA) (Capital Nature) Join DC Master Naturalists and Capital Nature for our annual City Nature Challenge observation at Fort Dupont Park. Fort Dupont hosts some of DC’s most abundant biodiversity of birds\, fungi\, and plants (as well as invasive plant challenges)\, but they often go unnoticed. Help us put this green gem on the map while you enjoy a restorative walk with naturalists. The walk will be led by wildlife biologist Carrie Seltzer from iNaturalist. \nThe late afternoon starting time will increase our opportunities to hear local and migratory birds! \n
