Citizen science for the family
We need your help to create a baseline of the wildlife we have now so we can track our progress towards a wilder 2030. We have a good range of records for our nature reserves and the spaces we manage, but we need you to tell us what wildlife you can see from your windows, what visits your balcony and what’s living in your garden.
Our citizen science project, How Wild Are We?, is a Trust led citizen science project with several wildlife surveys for the whole family to get involved with. The surveys can be completed by downloading the PDFs or entering your findings directly onto the online submission forms.
