SLC Open Streets
Photograph nature for the SLC Open Streets Nature Survey
Ready to look for urban nature with us? Any iNaturalist observation you make of wild species within the SLC Open Streets will show up in this project - what nature can you find and photograph?
Salt Lake City’s Open Street event transforms downtown main street into a lively, pedestrian-friendly hub, fostering community connections and strengthening partnerships with local businesses and organizations.
In 2025, the event is looking beyond the concrete and glass of the downtown environment to something a little unexpected – nature. NHMU is partnering with Open Streets to explore the wild nature in and around SLC.
- Where: SLC Open Streets is located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City between South Temple and 400 South along all of Main Street.
- When: Every Friday & Saturday in June from 2:00 PM - 2:00 AM
