The seventh annual City Nature Challenge Halifax Regional Municipality event will take place April 25-28, 2025!
After seven years, we've seen the success that CNC can have for engaging Haligonians with their local environments, and we hope to make this the biggest event yet! Expect more cities than ever participating from around the world.
During the 4-day event be sure to get outside and make observations of wildlife (flora and fauna) by taking photos and posting them to iNaturalist (web or app). Observations must be posted by midnight May 4 to be included. Cities around the world will compete to see which can make the most observations, document the most species, and engage the most people!
We need your help to activate your communities! Encourage your friends, family, and neighbours to make as many observations as possible during the four-day window.
Local groups and organizations are starting to organize events during this 4-day event. The objective is to encourage people to get outdoors, to explore, to observe nature, to share observations, and to have fun. Always respect nature and never pester wildlife in an attempt to record an observation. Recognize the limitations of your cameras!
