How to Participate

Participating is easy! Simply make iNaturalist observations anywhere in London from

April 26th to 29th and your observations will automatically be added into the competition!

You can also join us on a guided nature walk to learn more about our local species and make iNaturalist observations along the trail.

Whether on your own or on a nature walk, you will need to know how to use

iNaturalist to participate in the City Nature Challenge.

iNaturalist is pretty user-friendly but here are some helpful resources to help you get started:
