What is City Nature Challenge?
City Nature Challenge is an epic, global mission to record as much wildlife as possible. Help put nature on the map in your neighbourhood from Friday 29 April – Monday 2 May 2022.
Over the four-day challenge we’re inviting everyone to share their wildlife sightings from windows, gardens, or local parks - wherever you are in Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, or North Somerset.
You don’t have to be an expert or even know the name of the species you’ve seen to take part! Just download the free iNaturalist app, take a picture of what you find, upload – and share. https://www.inaturalist.org/
