For the fifth year in a row, the City of Delta will be participating in the City Nature Challenge. Help us to explore, discover and share the incredible biodiversity found in Delta by observing nature all around us – birds, bats, butterflies, molluscs, trees, shrubs, ferns and more!
Participation is easy. Simply:
- Visit iNaturalist.org and create an account
- Join the City of Delta project here: City Nature Challenge 2026: Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD)
- Make observations of a wild animal, plant or fungus from April 24 - 27.
Observations can be uploaded directly through your phone, or uploaded on your computer through to May 10.
