Connect to Nature

Thank you for taking part in the City Nature Challenge 2023! Some of the Challenge organisers have provided links for those of you who would like to become more involved in nature; perhaps even continue to record the plants and animals that you see.

Here you’ll find information about ways you can connect to nature in our region. You’ll find details of resources, opportunities, events, and more.
