Nature Counts: From Observation to Action
I’ll be leading garden walks as part of the Natural History Museum’s Generation Hope event on Saturday 25 April (11:30 and 14:30).
On this walk you’ll learn how urban nature is studied in real time in our Nature Discovery Garden. Discover the methods that have collectively transformed our gardens into a living data lab, providing evidence that guides nature recovery across the city. You’ll learn about traditional approaches, such as bird transects and moth trapping, as well as cutting-edge tools, including DNA barcoding and acoustic monitoring.
You’ll also get the chance to use your smartphone to record what you see on the City Nature Challenge, a global community science initiative documenting urban biodiversity. Every bird, insect and plant you log becomes part of real evidence helping to monitor and protect wildlife worldwide.
The event is free but booking is required. Book your tickets here.
