City Nature Challenge 2025 Greater Victoria

Join nature lovers across the capital region as we document the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us during the 2025 City Nature Challenge.

April 25 – 28: Take photos of plants and wildlife in your backyard, local park and natural areas within the capital region, and upload them to iNaturalist.
April 29 – May 4: Join the community on iNaturalist.ca by identifying your photos and those of other participants. Join the project and check back as we record all the biodiversity we find.

Help us inventory the local landscape and track biodiversity. The City Nature Challenge is a way for the community to help collect data on the wild species living in and around our cities, which helps local governments and scientists to better protect local biodiversity. You can make a difference by taking photos of the plants and wildlife in your backyard, local park and city, and reporting them using iNaturalist. Stay tuned for more information about events and prizes.
