The City Nature Challenge is around the corner! 24th to 27th April 2020

Do you participate in any outdoor activities?
Do you belong to a club?
Are you at school?

Why not consider organizing a BioBlitz over the weekend.

Make it a challenge amongst your friends to see who can do the most observations. Dare your school mates to a challenge. What about your co-workers, or even your family?

Get out there. Learn more about your immediate environment. Make use of your cell phone camera to take more than selfies.

Download the iNat app and start practicing.
