We'll be meeting at the woodland entrance in Coundon Social Club car park:

You don't need to have any experience to take part, although we are also hosting training sessions in the weeks prior so you can make yourself comfortable. You don't need to worry about knowing how to identify many species; we will have people on hand to help, and simply uploading a picture will still help us in the challenge! Downloading the iNaturalist app in advance is recommended to reduce your data usage. Search for it on the Play/App Store, or visit the iNaturalist site to download it.
For more information, read about the City Nature Challenge.
Dress for the weather and bring a packed lunch and a drink. The ground may be muddy, so wear sturdy footwear. If you would like to borrow a pair of wellies, get in touch and we can arrange for that.
If attending the event would cause you to have travel costs or other personal costs that would make it unaffordable, please contact us to discuss how we can help.
This event is organised and led by Sam Williams (Sherbourne Valley Project Trainee). Contact number: 07538321074. Email: samuel.williams@wkwt.org.uk.

This project is led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust in partnership with Coventry City Council, Severn Trent, the Environment Agency, Citizen Housing, Historic Coventry Trust, Coventry University and Sherbourne Valley Churches. It has been generously supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and it’s thanks to National Lottery players that we are able to host this event.
