– The Baton Rouge region, which includes St. Martin Parish, is participating in the 2026 City Nature Challenge, the annual biodiversity survey that has taken the world by storm. The City Nature Challenge started in 2016 with just two cities, and has grown to over 800 participating cities.
The Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater Baton Rouge are the local organizers for the region and encourage everyone in Southeast Louisiana to explore nature April 24-27 and help document the wild plants and animals in our urban and rural areas. The mission is to collect photos of wild plants and animals in the iNaturalist app or iNaturalist.org website and discover our incredible wildlife hiding in plain sight!
Find wildlife or plant life anywhere in Southeast Louisiana. (Wild only - no landscaping plants or pets).
