For the second time, Silver City is participating in the City Nature Challenge. City Nature Challenge is a global, four-day community science project with a goal to document biodiversity in and around urban areas. This year, the global event will run from Friday, April 24th to Monday, April 27th. Anyone can participate by using the iNaturalist app or website platform, which interfaces with museum and biodiversity databases, to log photographs or sound recordings of wildlife. Participants can find, photograph, and identify species while exploring their neighborhoods and natural areas on their own or join daily guided hikes and tours led by local naturalists. This year, three partner organizations are hosting Silver City's City Nature Challenge event: Bird Alliance of Southwestern New Mexico, Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, and the Silver City Watershed Keepers.

Hikers, bikers, horseback riders and all other forest recreators desiring seclusion may wish to consider alternate recreation locations.

Although foot traffic for the run will be limited to 0.75 miles of connector trails from the pavilion up to Angel Loop and the 1.5-mile Angel Loop itself, there will likely be more people than usual in the overall Gomez Peak recreation area.
