3. Take photos in any Metro Vancouver regional park or greenway from June 1-30, 2026 and upload them to iNaturalist.
This June, explore Metro Vancouver’s regional parks and greenways for Great Outdoors Month! Pay attention to plants, fungi, mosses, and wildlife you haven’t noticed before. Then simply snap photos of what you discover and share your photos on iNaturalist.
iNaturalist is a great way to build your nature knowledge and get feedback on your observations. What’s more, you’ll be joining a global community of citizen scientists and contributing to biodiversity science.
It’s a fun outdoor activity for everyone, on your own or with your family.
Prizes (make sure to register below to be eligible!)
- Best Bird Observation
- Best Animal Observation
- Best Plant Observation
- Best Senior-in-a-Park Observation

NOTE: If an individual has both the most observations and most species observed, they will only receive a prize for most observations. The individual with the second most species observed will receive the other prize.
You can check out the Regional Parks Snap & Share project page on iNaturalist to see what others have been observing and view the leaderboard.
Please take photos safely. Don’t approach wildlife, stay on trails, and don’t pick or remove anything.
