Observe Nature With Wildlife Watch

National Wildlife Federation's Wildlife Watch program helps citizen naturalists jump start their nature-watching experience.

With Wildlife Watch, individuals, groups and families can observe nature in their neighborhoods and share their discoveries online. It is the first step for beginner citizen naturalists to learn how to monitor wildlife, connect with conservation organizations, and share their experiences and photographs with other citizen naturalists.

Visit the Wildlife Watch website to download seasonal lists of species to watch and listen for during your nature walks, traveling to and from work or school, and when playing outdoors. Return to the Wildlife Watch website to report your findings as often as you like.

Don't forget to share your special nature stories and photographs too!
