About this Project
“Help put Halifax Regional Municipality on the global nature scene! Between April 25 – 28, 2025 cities/places from across the planet, from here in our province to other locations around the world, will compete for the title of the most Biodiverse City. We need your help. Whether you’re an avid naturalist or a dog walker, everyone can participate: it’s easy, fun, and will encourage you to get outdoors.”

As well as contributing to Halifax’s participation as a city, if you take a photo within the Backlands, that contributes to a separate compendium of iNaturalist observations in the Backlands. (See graphic above.)
