City Nature Challenge comes to Greater Manchester

23 Apr 2019

What species will you find?

Between 26 and 29 April, over 150 cities worldwide will be competing to find and record urban wildlife. Manchester Museum has signed Greater Manchester up for the challenge. We will be pitting our wildlife spotting skills against the likes of San Francisco, Rome, Lima, Hong Kong, Liverpool and London.

There are two ways to get involved in this fun and friendly competition. You can take part independently using the iNaturalist app to record any wildlife you spot over that weekend or to help others identify their finds.

You can also get involved by joining us at one of the many wildlife recording events taking place over the weekend in parks and greenspaces across Greater Manchester; held by some of the region's leading conservation organisations.

City Nature Challenge is a worldwide biological recording event encouraging people to value urban wildlife and is organised globally by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences.
