Always wondered how you can support insect life in your garden, orchard, or community growing space?
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to record the wildlife you spot using iNaturalist – a free, easy-to-use app that helps you identify insects and other fascinating creatures you might not recognise.
This session will also show you how to get involved in Capital Growth’s London-wide citizen science project, The Big City Bug Hunt. Together, we’re gathering vital data to demonstrate the important role food-growing spaces play in supporting urban biodiversity.
Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just bug-curious, come along and discover how small actions can make a big difference for nature in our city.
