iNaturalist Hike

Enjoy the sights and sounds of spring on this guided nature walk along Thames River. You will learn about some of the plants and animals we encounter along the trail and have the chance to participate in the City Nature Challenge!

Come prepared with your camera or phone. If possible, have iNaturalist pre-downloaded.

We will meet at the front doors of the Civic Garden Complex - 625 Springbank Dr, London, ON N6K 4T1.

This hike is being led by Quinten Wiegersma, a seasonal Park Naturalist for Algonquin Provincial Park and the top iNaturalist observer in London!

After the hike, stick around to explore the Greenhouse Tour & Open House organized by the Friends of London Civic Garden Complex. The event runs on April 28th from 12-3pm and will have lots to check out, including:
Plants & Compost for sale (Cash, Cheque and e-Transfer)
Children can plant a seedling to take home!
Many interesting displays from community partners

Help track biodiversity in London by participating in the City Nature Challenge!

The CNC is an international community science event in which regions compete to make the most observations of nature. Community science data is useful for tracking trends in biodiversity and can inform local conservation management and land use planning. Participating in the CNC is a way for you to contribute to protecting wildlife and habitat in London!

From April 26th to 29th, make observations of wild plants, animals and fungi and upload the photos or sounds into iNaturalist.
