City Nature Challenge

14 Apr 2023

The annual City Nature Challenge is a global community science competition to document different plants and animals. The public is challenged to find and document plants, animals, and other organisms within a specific area.

All you need to do is get to a nature area between 28 April and 1 May, take pictures of as many plants and animals as possible and then upload these to the City Nature Challenge database. Your pictures will be identified by specialists, counted, and documented.

To find out about events in the Western Cape, email learning@capenature.co.za or visit their website.
