SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge with the Jacksonville Zoo
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to City Nature Challenge 2023 for Duval County! City Nature Challenge is a friendly competition between cities around the world. It started in 2016 between San Francisco and Los Angeles to see who could get the community to observe more wildlife using iNaturalist. Since then\, more and more cities have started to participate. Jacksonville hosted the challenge starting in 2022 and plans to expand their community science programs with this incredible and engaging challenge. For four days (April 28 – May 1)\, we encourage you to use iNaturalist to take pictures of all the wildlife you can see (remember only look and snap\, don’t touch!). \nConservation scientists and researchers around the world use the pictures from iNaturalist to study different species\, update distribution ranges\, and determine population health. Help us help conservationists protect and study wildlife around the world from your backyard! \nJoin the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens this year for a host of engaging activities and events.

SUMMARY:Brewing Up Solutions: Renew Jax
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 9 at 6 p.m. at Bold City Brewery Warehouse (2670-7 Rosselle Street\, Jacksonville\, FL 32204)\nJoin us as Lisa Rinaman\, the St. Johns Riverkeeper\, Logan Cross\, chair of the Northeast Florida Sierra Club\, and Scott Dye\, a sustainability professional\, discuss Renew Jax\, the Sierra Club’s ongoing campaign seeking a commitment from the City of Jacksonville and JEA to utilize 100% renewable energy by 2050. \nSierra Club’s Logan Cross will provide an update about progress made\, obstacles faced and how we can take action. \n12 other Florida cities have already committed to power all of their municipal operations\, businesses\, and homes with renewable energy on or before 2050. The Sierra Club has demonstrated why Jacksonville and JEA should also make this commitment and how it will potentially benefit ratepayers. We’ll talk about how JEA is responding and how you can help. \nThis is the first in our 2023 series of brewery conversations exploring solutions to climate change\, sea level rise\, and the pollution problems threatening the health of our river and our communities. Brought to you by St. Johns Riverkeeper’s Water Policy Group. \nRegister\nRSVP here and let us know you plan to attend! \nLearn More About Renew Jax\nFor more information about the campaign\, visit renewjax.org.
