Big City Bug Hunt: nature recording training

This in-person workshop will help you discover the iNaturalist app and all the ways it can help you and your community explore the fascinating web of life around you.  In the run-up to the Big City Bug Hunt week, this is your chance to get involved!

Join us for a summer evening at Horsendon Hill Farm, to learn how to use iNaturalist and the wonderful world of biological recording. We'll begin with an introductory presentation and guidance on 'getting set up', then head outdoors to 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 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.

Access: the meeting space is located up one flight of stairs and will include a walk around an active farm site and growing space. If you have additional questions about accessibility, please contact lula.wattam@sustainweb.org so we can help.

If you are a part of a community growing site in London, please sign up to the Big City Bug Hunt before attending.

We are running a food gathers networking session earlier on from 1:00-4:00pm so please do book separately if you are interested: link here.
