  • Unlocking Urban Biodiversity: A Guide to Higher Quality iNaturalist Observations

    2026-04-17

    iNaturalist is one of the world’s most popular nature apps, connecting people with nature while contributing to biodiversity science. Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation for an engaging webinar on how to make the most of your time exploring urban environments by creating high-quality iNaturalist observations. Learn practical tips for documenting species effectively, improving your identification skills, and contributing observations that can support scientific and conservation efforts. Leading the session will be Nathan Earley, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria.

  • Make a Monarch Butterfly Garden

    2020-04-01

    The Monarch Butterfly is a species that doesn’t stay in Canada for the winter — it flies as far as Mexico! That adds up to a migration of over 4,000 kilometres round trip (there and back). Monarchs are also listed as an endangered species on Canada’s species at risk registry, so we thought spring would be the perfect time for you to work on a project to help them!
