Lets win this for our local area
🔍 The City Nature Challenge is back, bringing together cities from across the world to see who can record the most observations of plants, animals and fungi over four days.
This year, Yarra Ranges is teaming up with 32 other Melbourne Councils to take part.
Getting involved is easy:
📱 Download the iNaturalist app or create an account online
📸 Take photos of wild plants, animals or fungi in the Yarra Ranges between Friday, 24 April and Monday, 27 April
⬆️ Upload your observations to iNaturalist and they’ll automatically be added to the challenge
You can snap photos on your phone or upload images from a camera via the website. You can even record sounds.
Whether you’re out for a walk, in your backyard, or exploring local bushland, every observation counts.
