National Wildlife Week: April 21-29

During National Wildlife Week, the National Wildlife Federation encourages Americans to become citizen naturalists and participate in Wildlife Watch.

Wildlife observation will help people connect with nature during this year’s National Wildlife Week observance, April 21-29. Participants in the National Wildlife Watch will download a list of wildlife and natural phenomena to observe in their backyards, neighborhoods, communities and other special places. Observers also will be challenged to watch for designated endangered species in their locale. They will then report back by posting all their findings.

It also touts Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Great Backyard Bird Count, which took place in February.
