We are excited to be involved in this focused bio blitz across York to raise awareness of biodiversity in the city, and get some data! This is the second year York has been involved in the City Wide Nature Challenge.
Get involved in an event at Rowntree Park!
We have lots of events and activities happening in Rowntree Park as part of the weekend and all ages can get involved. As well as the events, we will also have a drop in stall under the cafe in Rowntree Park on Saturday 26th April 10.30-2.30pm where you can find out more , share your finds- and also borrow some spotter sheets, bug packs and other things! We are also launching out new Pollinator Art Trail featuring creative pieces by local artist Emma Fenenely along wit information about common pollinators found in Rowntree Park (Trail sheets £1) – more info here
Anyone and everyone can get involved in collecting data using the INaturalist App – you snap what you see and it records what was found and where.
On Friday 25th, York Cares are running a nature walk in Rowntree Park 2-4pm that anyone can join for free – but book places in advance using their form here.
For more information in general and how to use the INaturalist App, check out the main York City Wide Nature Challenge page here.
Interested in nature based resources to help engage children – then check out Catkin & co (online store with pick up also based near park!)
