Community Beautification Quiz
See how much you really know about making your community greener and cleaner.
Microhabitat Mapping
Grab your notebook and become an urban ecologist! Hunt for tiny wild spaces like sidewalk cracks, fence lines, and parking lot edges to see what’s growing there. Sketch, snap photos, and identify native and invasive species to create your own microhabitat field guide to share with others.
Pollinator Pathway Audit
Take a walk through your neighborhood to see how pollinator-friendly it really is. Spot flowers, safe zones, and “pollinator deserts,” then design small but powerful fixes like bee hotels or nectar-rich planters to help your local bees and butterflies thrive.
Green Infrastructure Detective
Put on your detective hat and uncover your community’s hidden green engineering. Search for rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable pavement, then map how they manage stormwater. Share your discoveries by creating a youth guide to help others spot and support these nature-powered systems.
Climate Shadows Walk
Head outside on a sunny day to see how shade shapes your community. Record temperature differences under trees versus open areas, map hot spots, and brainstorm ways to grow your local canopy for a cooler, more comfortable future.
