This year, the City Nature Challenge, a worldwide recording event, comes to Greater Manchester. City Nature Challenge is organised on a global scale by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California Academy of Sciences. Between the 26th and 29th April, over 150 cities worldwide will be competing to find urban and record wildlife. We will be pitting our wildlife spotting skills against the likes of San Francisco, Rome, Lima, Hong Kong and Liverpool. Anyone who joins in will be helping to make a difference, mapping where wildlife lives in the city. You could record the ladybirds living on your balcony, the birds in the local park or the mushrooms you’ve seen on a walk in the countryside. The information from this weekend will be added to the UK’s biodiversity database, becoming part of the data used to protect nature. https://www.bnhc.org.uk/bioblitz/city-nature-challenge/
