City Nature Challenge began in 2016 in California and has grown into an international event. It’s organized on a global scale by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences. Here in Port Moody, we’re calling this bioblitz the Metro Vancouver City Nature Challenge! 

The Metro Vancouver region competed with other communities around the world to gather the most observations about nature, find the most species, and engage the most people from April 26 to April 29. Participants documented their findings using iNaturalist, a project of National Geographic and the California Academy of Sciences. iNaturalist is a third-party app and the City of Port Moody makes no claims about the security or privacy of its use.
