Description

The largest citizen science project in the world, the international City Nature Challenge takes place the weekend of the first May Bank Holiday from 28 April to 1 May in Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Newport.

At this short lunchtime session, learn how to take part in this global mission to spot as much wildlife as possible using the iNaturalist app and hear what's happening in the region to map Nature and plan for the future. All students staff friends and members of the public are welcome.

No need to register, just turn up on the day. And if you have time, come on a nature ramble afterwards round campus and start surveying with the app!

More info about the challenge can be found on the City Nature Challenge website.
