About the City Nature Challenge

This event is part of the annual City Nature Challenge.

The City Nature Challenge is an annual global event that celebrates local wildlife and flora through citizen science. The event is coordinated by the California Academy of Sciences and the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum and was first run in 2016.

During the 4-day challenge snap a photo or record the sound of any wild plant or animal and upload it to the iNaturalist app. Make sure to include the location details too. At the end of the Challenge, the city with the most observations wins.

Caring for wildlife and reserves

Please tread carefully when exploring our bushland reserves and making wildlife observations. We share our green space with an array of flora and fauna friends and respect their homes.

Accessibility

• Street Parking is available on Army Road and Market Street, Boronia
• Please wear enclosed shoes and bring a drink bottle.

This event is a collaboration between Knox City Council and Friends of Old Joes Creek.
