As Part of the Energy Garden’s Biodiversity Week
16 May - Finchley Central Station 10:00 - 12:00
Citizen Science and Habitat Improvements
As part of Biodiversity Week we will be doing our part to contribute to important citizen science projects. These include the Natural History Museum’s Nature Overheard survey and the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme’s Flower Insect Timed (FIT) survey. As always, participants will also be encouraged to submit observations to iNaturalist to contribute to Energy Garden’s biodiversity data collection efforts. We will also be planting seedlings in the garden to boost plant species diversity as well as incorporating new animal habiats in the garden.
