Event details
Join City of Boroondara as we compete in the 2024 City Nature Challenge!
You'll be helping to put Boroondara's flora and fauna on the world map, whilst contributing to important citizen science data collection. The challenge runs for 4 days, from Friday 26 to Monday 29 April 2024.
Boroondara is teaming up with Councils across Greater Melbourne to join in the City Nature Challenge. As part of the challenge, we invite you to come along and join in an afternoon of learning and identification, joined by a horticultural specialist at Maranoa Gardens. We will be on hand to help you spot, learn about and record your sightings, as we focus on the amazing biodiversity that calls Boroondara home!
