MORE INFO

Ever wondered what's really living in our gardens and green spaces? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to noticing, observing and recording nature and the environment around us.

No expertise required, just curiosity.

Every space, however small, adds to a bigger picture. By looking closely together, we build a shared record of the biodiversity in our community. One that grows richer over time and helps us understand and care for our local green spaces.

What to expect during the session.

As part of the session there will be an introduction to CommuniMap. A digital tool for recording biodiversity and elements of our environment.
There will be two ways to take part:

• On a device: we'll show you a digital application called CommuniMap. This is a digital tool you can use for free for logging what you notice as you go.

• On paper: If you’re not keen on an app, there are paper versions of the platform to record your spots.

What this session is (and isn't)
This first session is all about noticing - not identifying species.

For anyone interested in taking their nature recording further, we we'll be running a follow-up session on Sunday 27th September where you can find out more about getting help to identify the wildlife you encounter and sharing your observations beyond our community. 

All welcome, no experience needed
Bring your curiosity (and a phone if you have one). More info about Communimap here: Welcome - Communimap UK

HOW TO BOOK

No reservation necessary, all welcome. Please be on time to make the most of our session.
