City Nature Challenge: April 29 - May 2

Delta is participating in the 2022 City Nature Challenge!

What is the City Nature Challenge?

The City Nature Challenge 2022 (CNC) is an international event to motivate people to find and document the biodiversity in their cities.  It is a friendly competition to see which city can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people with the overall objective to see what can be accomplished when we all work together towards a common goal.

Learn more about the CNC in this short video.

To participate, all you need is a smartphone, the iNaturalist app, and the motivation to get out in your neighbourhood to take photos!

If you don’t know how to use iNaturalist, reviewing these videos and documents will give you a good overview of what to do.

If you want some help finding interesting plants, animals and insects to take photos of, members of the Delta Naturalists will be in some of our local parks to help look for species.

Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1
