Armed with your camera, rediscover your natural surroundings; you might be surprised what you find!
British biodiversity is currently under threat, with thousands of our plants and animals facing habitat destruction and homelessness. What on Earth is a call-to-action to identify as many plants and animals as possible in UK parks, gardens, and hedgerows.
Go outside and reconnect with all the weird and wonderful flora and fauna that inhabit our small but diverse land.
Upload a photo of anything you don't recognise and in return we'll send you a free packet of seeds designed to encourage more creatures to inhabit your local space (subject to availability), in addition to a Biodiversity Information and Activity Pack.
Required gear:
A camera
How to join or get started:
