Join us for a gentle Nature Recording Walk for adults on Friday, 25th April, or bring anyone and everyone along for a drop-in Nature Day of activities on Saturday, 26th. Find out more below.
Every year, cities around the world take part in the City Nature Challenge to record and share observations of any plant, animal, or evidence of urban life.
Sending in your wildlife sightings is important to understand what species people are seeing so scientists can track population trends. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to take a moment to notice what’s around you and learn more about local wildlife!
