The NRF-SAEON Grasslands Node celebrated Biodiversity Day with learners from Newborn Christian School and Mntanenkosi High School. Grade 7 learners explored the importance of biodiversity and local plant species, while Grade 8 learners used the iNaturalist app to document plants and animals around their school. Learners were also encouraged to join the #SAEONKids2026 iNaturalist Challenge. 🌱📱🐞 #BiodiversityDay #CitizenScience\
