Big City Bug Hunt: become a nature detective

Join us for a hands on workshop to learn about the wildlife aroud you, how to record it and get involved in London-wide citizen science fun through iNaturalist. If you're new to iNaturalist or just started using but want to learn more and improve your confidence, then this workshop is for you.

This evening session at Regents Park Allotments will make the most of the long summer days. Starting with an introductory presentation and guidance on 'getting set up', we'll head outdoors to explore using the app and spot bugs, and then go back inside to upload and identify records, and do troubleshooting.

This workshop is particularly suited for newcomers to iNaturalist – those who've never used the platform – but there will be useful tips and tricks as well for those who have a little experience already. Whatever your level, we welcome you to come along and enjoy using the platform and recording biodiversity with us.

Your trainer: iNaturalist ambassador Joss Carr. Joss is an avid and passionate iNaturalist user, having submitted over 30,000 observations and identified almost 14,000 observations for others.

Please bring comfortable footwear, weather appropriate clothing, and a water bottle.
