How do I take part?

We're on a mission to discover how many different creatures we can record in one weekend in Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.

Taking part is fun and easy... just spot it, count it, record it! 🐞

You can join in for as long as you like - whether that’s 20 minutes or several hours over the course of the weekend.

It doesn’t matter where you are in Warwickshire, Coventry or Solihull. It could be a flat, a house with a garden, a park, a field or a street. No special knowledge or skills are required - we’ll provide you with everything you need to make it simple and fun.

Why are we counting?

Our gardens make up more of the UK’s green space than all nature reserves combined. And the past few years have shown us how much we need nature in our lives.

We need nature, and the wild spaces that we depend need protection. The 2019 State of Nature Report (a health check of the UK's wildlife) reports the devastating effects of human impact on wildlife. Of the 8,418 species assessed, 15% are now at risk of extinction!

Together, let's discover and celebrate the wildlife who call our gardens, parks and window boxes their home. Our collective counting will give us vital information about the natural state of the area, enabling us to better support, protect and enhance wildlife and wild places.
