The activity combined outdoor photography, practical training, community engagement, and hands-on contribution to Wikimedia Commons. A total of 11 people registered through the event page. The activity included three in-person photowalks across different natural areas in and around Moncton, as well as three online training sessions and a final celebration party. The photowalks provided participants with an opportunity to explore local natural spaces while learning how to identify, photograph, document, license, and upload images to Wikimedia Commons. Participants visited and photographed natural areas including Irishtown Nature Park, Hopewell Rocks, Mapleton Park, and Mill Creek Nature Park. The photowalks focused on capturing eligible Wiki Loves Earth subjects, including forests, wetlands, lakes, trails, notable trees, animals, birds, insects, plants, fungi, and other natural subjects. Participants were also supported through three online training sessions, including a pre-recorded session that could be watched at their convenience. The training covered Wikimedia Commons, image licensing, uploading photographs, categorization, and writing clear and detailed descriptions that make images more useful and discoverable. Following the photowalks, participants uploaded their photographs to Wikimedia Commons and applied the skills they learned during the training sessions. The main categories used for the uploads were Nature of Moncton, Nature of New Brunswick, and Wiki Loves Earth 2026 in Moncton. The campaign resulted in [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WMCA/WikiLoves_Earth_in_Moncton_2026/uploads 235 images] being uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. A jury of three members from Nigeria reviewed the submitted images through three rounds of review. Four participants whose images were selected as the winning entries received gift cards based on their final ranking. An additional gift card was awarded to the participant who attended all three photowalks, as an incentive for sustained participation.

'''Feedback from Participants''' * '''Experience Organizing the Activity''': The activity provided a positive opportunity to engage a new local community around Wikimedia Commons, nature documentation, photography, and open knowledge. Participants appreciated the combination of outdoor photowalks and online training, which allowed them to learn about Wikimedia Commons while exploring natural areas in and around Moncton. :Participants were particularly motivated by the opportunity to meet new people, learn photography and Wikimedia Commons skills, contribute to an open knowledge platform, and document local natural heritage. Some participants also expressed interest in continuing their involvement with the WikiClub beyond the campaign. :From the organiser's perspective, the campaign also provided important learning around planning, coordination, community outreach, technical preparation, and the need for early alignment with national and international campaign structures. * '''What Went Well & What Could Be Improved''' * '''What went well''': :The combination of in-person photowalks and online training created multiple opportunities for participants to learn, practise, and contribute. :Participants were able to explore different natural environments and document a diverse range of plants, animals, landscapes, water bodies, trails, and other natural features. :The activity attracted participants with diverse backgrounds and interests, including students, researchers, parents, photographers, volunteers, and people interested in open knowledge. :The campaign generated 235 Wikimedia Commons uploads, including 204 images directly related to the campaign. :The three-round jury process provided a structured approach to reviewing and selecting winning images. :Gift cards provided a tangible form of recognition for winning contributions and sustained participation. :The campaign helped increase awareness of Wikimedia Commons and provided an opportunity to introduce participants to free licensing, categorisation, and content contribution. :Participants identified networking, learning, volunteering, and opportunities to contribute to the community as important motivations for continued participation. * '''What could be improved''': :The WikiClub would benefit from a more consistent public presence, including a dedicated social media page and regular promotion of its activities. :Future activities could establish partnerships with other local community organisations, such as Rotary Club Moncton, and participate in existing community events and volunteer opportunities to increase the club's visibility and diversify its membership. :The club could make greater use of banners, posters, community noticeboards, and other physical outreach opportunities to reach people beyond existing Wikimedia networks. :Collaboration with local micro-influencers could help increase awareness of the club and attract new participants to future activities. :Participants suggested expanding recognition beyond prizes to include certificates of participation or recognition from Wikimedia Canada where appropriate. :Participants also expressed interest in opportunities that connect active community members to leadership roles, professional networks, employment opportunities, scholarships, conferences, and recommendation letters. :Future campaigns would benefit from earlier coordination with Wikimedia Canada and the international Wiki Loves Earth organising team to clarify eligibility, technical requirements, campaign setup, and promotional infrastructure before the campaign begins. :A clearer national coordination pathway for Wiki Loves Earth in Canada would help local communities participate more effectively in future editions. * '''Achievement of Intended Goals''' :The activity achieved its main goals of introducing participants to Wikimedia Commons, developing photography and contribution skills, documenting local natural heritage, and strengthening the WikiClub Moncton community. The campaign resulted in 204 images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, while creating opportunities for learning, networking, and community engagement. === Final Budget === ''Indicate here your detailed final budget in Canadian dollars (CAD).'' {| class="wikitable" !Item !!

'''Feedback from Participants''' * '''Experience Organizing the Activity''': The activity provided a positive opportunity to engage a new local community around Wikimedia Commons, nature documentation, photography, and open knowledge. Participants appreciated the combination of outdoor photowalks and online training, which allowed them to learn about Wikimedia Commons while exploring natural areas in and around Moncton. :Participants were particularly motivated by the opportunity to meet new people, learn photography and Wikimedia Commons skills, contribute to an open knowledge platform, and document local natural heritage. Some participants also expressed interest in continuing their involvement with the WikiClub beyond the campaign. :From the organiser's perspective, the campaign also provided important learning around planning, coordination, community outreach, technical preparation, and the need for early alignment with national and international campaign structures. * '''What Went Well & What Could Be Improved''' * '''What went well''': :The combination of in-person photowalks and online training created multiple opportunities for participants to learn, practise, and contribute. :Participants were able to explore different natural environments and document a diverse range of plants, animals, landscapes, water bodies, trails, and other natural features. :The activity attracted participants with diverse backgrounds and interests, including students, researchers, parents, photographers, volunteers, and people interested in open knowledge. :The campaign generated 235 Wikimedia Commons uploads, including 204 images directly related to the campaign. :The three-round jury process provided a structured approach to reviewing and selecting winning images. :Gift cards provided a tangible form of recognition for winning contributions and sustained participation. :The campaign helped increase awareness of Wikimedia Commons and provided an opportunity to introduce participants to free licensing, categorisation, and content contribution. :Participants identified networking, learning, volunteering, and opportunities to contribute to the community as important motivations for continued participation. * '''What could be improved''': :The WikiClub would benefit from a more consistent public presence, including a dedicated social media page and regular promotion of its activities. :Future activities could establish partnerships with other local community organisations, such as Rotary Club Moncton, and participate in existing community events and volunteer opportunities to increase the club's visibility and diversify its membership. :The club could make greater use of banners, posters, community noticeboards, and other physical outreach opportunities to reach people beyond existing Wikimedia networks. :Collaboration with local micro-influencers could help increase awareness of the club and attract new participants to future activities. :Participants suggested expanding recognition beyond prizes to include certificates of participation or recognition from Wikimedia Canada where appropriate. :Participants also expressed interest in opportunities that connect active community members to leadership roles, professional networks, employment opportunities, scholarships, conferences, and recommendation letters. :Future campaigns would benefit from earlier coordination with Wikimedia Canada and the international Wiki Loves Earth organising team to clarify eligibility, technical requirements, campaign setup, and promotional infrastructure before the campaign begins. :A clearer national coordination pathway for Wiki Loves Earth in Canada would help local communities participate more effectively in future editions. * '''Achievement of Intended Goals''' :The activity achieved its main goals of introducing participants to Wikimedia Commons, developing photography and contribution skills, documenting local natural heritage, and strengthening the WikiClub Moncton community. The campaign resulted in 204 images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, while creating opportunities for learning, networking, and community engagement. === Final Budget === ''Indicate here your detailed final budget in Canadian dollars (CAD).'' {| class="wikitable" !Item !!
