Join us as we launch the 2025 City Nature Challenge weekend with a fun, interactive event outdoors at Macaulay Honors College. Hear a welcome from Macaulay Dean Dara Byrne, PhD and Director of Science Forward, Kelly O’Donnell, PhD, followed by a brief, guided nature walk in nearby Central Park. Participants will receive a free CITY SCIENTIST KIT* containing tools to help make plant and animal observations.
The event is free, open to all, and will take place rain or shine.
Macaulay Honors College is the official organizer of the 2025 City Nature Challenge for the City of New York, taking place over the weekend of April 25-28, 2025. The college has partnered with dozens of public parks, preservation societies, gardens, and other organizations throughout the five boroughs. And we invite nature lovers of all ages to participate for free.
Along with volunteer student guides, faculty, and local scientists, we’ll use our smartphones to record as many examples of urban wildlife as we can. The information can then be used by scientists and researchers to help improve biodiversity and sustainability in New York City—and beyond.
“City Nature Challenge is not a contest,” explains O’Donnell. “But we all win when we explore nature within our community, have fun, and contribute data that can be used to make New York City greener and healthier for everyone.”
Macaulay Honors College is the NYC organizer of the City Nature Challenge, with generous support from the New York City Council and the office of Council Member Gale Brewer.

This town hall event, featuring speakers from Brazil, Egypt, Guatemala, Peru, South Africa, and the United States, will be of interest to undergraduate researchers and their mentors, particularly those interested in how the pandemic has affected people in less affluent countries as well as disadvantaged groups in the United States (for example, the incarcerated).
As rich countries vaccinate their populations and prepare to reopen, many poorer countries and vulnerable populations in the US are struggling for vaccine access. On Friday, May 28th, the CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) will host a Town Hall event to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and global equity issues.
This forum will consist of three panels and include speakers from Brazil, Egypt, Guatemala, Peru, South Africa, and the United States. The US speakers will address vaccine access issues among migrants at the US borders, people in US prisons and jails, and vulnerable populations in US cities. Speakers will also address the gendered impacts of COVID-19, especially in Venezuela and Colombia.
Please click herefor an updated version of the flyer, which contains the schedule of panels, speaker bios, and a registration link.
An abbreviated version of the flyer is attached.
This event is free and open to everyone. Please circulate widely within your networks. All faculty, administrators, students, and members of the community are encouraged to attend.
