Take part in one of the largest Citizen Science projects in the world while contributing valuable information about Manningham’s biodiversity.
About the City Nature Challenge
In this worldwide BioBlitz, cities compete to observe the most species by the most people.
Manningham is collaborating with more than 25 local governments to form the Greater Melbourne project.
How to participate
During this four-day challenge, take photos of plants or animals and upload them to iNaturalist.
Your observations will be added to the Manningham iNaturalist projects (Manningham East or Manningham West) so that we can compete with participants from across Melbourne and around the world.
All data is added to Australia’s database of plants and animals, helping scientists with their research to improve outcomes for our environment.
Steps to prepare
- Install the iNaturalist app on your mobile phone and create an iNaturalist account.
- Join the Melbourne City Nature Challenge 2025: Greater Melbourne Project.
- Start adding your observations.
