🎉🐞 Show Us Your SPOTS! 🐸🌿 #CNCYXE2025

Spotted a ladybug lately? Noticed a Northern Flicker’s speckled wings or a frog with funky dots? 👀 This Easter break, join us in celebrating Earth Month’s 55th birthday AND the 10th anniversary of the City Nature Challenge with a fun twist — spotting spots in nature!

📆 April 25–28, 2025
📱 Use the iNaturalist app to document anything wild with spots — insects, birds, fungi, plants, you name it! Even leaves with egg spots count! Whether you're in your yard, on the bus, or strolling through your neighbourhood park, your observations matter.

✨ FREE EVENTS happening in Saskatoon — come to one or come to all!
🐦 From beetles to birds, mushrooms to moose (okay maybe not spotted moose...), there’s biodiversity everywhere just waiting to be discovered by YOU.

📸 Snap it, record it, and upload it with tags #CNCYXE2025 and #spotty
Let’s show the world Saskatoon’s spottiest side and celebrate spring the natural way! 🌼

🎉 Come to nature, come to life – and don’t forget… there are FREE events!

Happy spotting, Saskatoon! 🌍💚
