Overstrand will once again take part in this year's annual bioblitz of the City Nature Challenge (CNC) from 28 April to 1 May 2023.
The purpose of this bioblitz worldwide event is to record as many living species as possible within designated areas across the globe, as well as to engage the public in citizen science and nature learning - to increase biodiversity awareness and encourage citizens to actively contribute to the understanding of where plants, animals, and fungi occur as well as pin-pointing invasive or threatened species.
According to Sandy Immelman, Overstrand Bioblitzing Facilitator, "we will need everyone on board to photograph living creatures and plants in our area over the four days and load the photos to the iNaturalist app (there are plenty of easy videos to watch if you’re new to this app).”
