5 weeks to go - How to contribute to world's largest online BioBlitz event



With 5 weeks to go to the start of City Nature Challenge, we wanted to reach out to you as we need your help with recording wildlife in the Bristol and Bath area from 28th April – 1st of May 2023.

We – the West Of England region – will be entering into an annual global challenge where 450+ cities across the world will be trying to record as much wildlife as possible over four days at the end of April 2023.

Across the region, we want to record even more wildlife than we did during the challenge last year (8,005 observations and 1,270 species - lets beat this!), and make a massive contribution to the world total (last year nearly 1.7million records were made globally over the whole weekend).


How to get involved

It’s easy – simply make records of any local wildlife in the Bristol and Bath region, between the 28th of April and the 1st of May. You could be in Bristol, Bath, Weston-Super-Mare, or anywhere in-between throughout Northeast Somerset, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset. You can see our project map at the bottom of our main project page.
You can also click “join project” to get updates of future journal posts, where we will be sharing information about regional activity hubs that will be running throughout the challenge weekend, and challenges we will be setting to find rare or under-recorded species. You’ll also be able to see our other journal posts, find out more about City Nature challenge, and see our achievements from the bank holiday weekend.


If have taken part in City Nature Challenge in previous years – thank you for your contribution. Join us in recording wildlife during City Nature Challenge 2023!
