The global City Nature Challenge starts at midnight on 23 April, which here in New Zealand is now less than four hours away.
If you’re new to the City Nature Challenge, it’s four days of observing nature, in hundreds of cities around the world. That’s followed by two weeks of uploading photos and identifying species on #iNaturalist.
It’s a great way to get together with others and have some fun exploring your city and seeing what wild species you can find.

Participating cities in the City Nature Challenge often run fun free public events. That’s the case where I am in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, New Zealand. See the link below for the list of all our events. (I’m leading a nature walk on Sunday from the Sign of the Takahe in the city’s Port Hills down to the Botanic Gardens.) To find out what’s happening in your city, search for your city’s City Nature Challenge project page on #iNaturalist https://ccc.govt.nz/news-and-events/whats-on/programme/146 https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=City+nature+challenge #CNC2026
