Explore Our Biodiversity

Discover the nature all around you.

The Beach may be known for its waterfront, but our natural landscape extends well beyond the shoreline.

Our new Biodiversity Dashboard offers an interactive way to discover the trees, plants, pollinators, habitats and green spaces that contribute to the character and ecology of our neighbourhood.

Explore the iNaturalist data, learn more about the biodiversity around you and then head outside to see what you can discover for yourself.

Look up into the tree canopy. Notice what’s growing in our parks and gardens. Watch for pollinators. Take a different route to Queen Street.

Our natural environment is an important part of what makes The Beach such a special place to walk, gather and spend time.
