🌿 The @citnatchallenge #species recording period is over! What a cool challenge this was! More so because we got the chance to do it with kind and very curious citizen scientists. Here is a small selection of our favorite pics & sightings ( » )

The next 4 days, the iNat community will try to identify the 2 or 3 hundreds of observations that we recorded (besides the hundreds of thousands more recorded by the iNaturalists)… We can’t wait to learn more about the species that we could not name. This is what is great with the iNat platform: discovering, learning while helping a great community of scientists!

All our sightings are recorded in the iNaturalist EwA Nature Circles Project ( » ).
Don't be shy, come and participate in our EwA Nature Circles (join our project)!

🐿️ What a better way to celebrate World Biodiversity Day than with launching a local outreach program that celebrates it all year long! 💚

We’re excited to announce our new Nature Circles program ‘EwA at the Fells’ — A program collaboration with the Friends of the Fells 🌰 All year long we will run 2 series: The Fells’ Biobliss » Biodiversity & Citizen Science 🍃, and The Fells Naturalists & Sketchers Circle 🎨.

Both series foster awareness of species and habitat biodiversity, and develops an understanding of the importance of ecology, phenology, ethics while helping science through citizen science. Together, we’ll explore, sketch and document the diverse habitats and wildlife that make this urban forest a true gem, and a wonderful means to get us closer to Nature and ourselves. Come join us!
