How do local residents, of the Isle of Wight, use their public green spaces?
​
Take part in the Wildlife Trust's research, by completing a short questionnaire, to help them understand how they can improve YOUR public green space for
people and wildlife.
Greenspaces Project
Isle of Wight Public
It is more important than ever that people are able to connect with nature through their local spaces.

The Winchester Science Centre + STEM Learning
The Winchester Science Centre in collaboration with the STEM Learning are looking for volunteers to become STEM Ambassadors which are based on the Isle of Wight.
​
STEM Ambassadors bring a fresh and inspiring perspective to STEM subjects and careers, engaging young people and communities from around the country.
The Winchester Science Centre + STEM Learning
It offers the chance to give something back to education and the wider community.
These are free online natural history talks (via Zoom), comprising of a 30-40 minute talk, followed by a question and answer session.
​
​
Also, Katharina Seilern-Moy will be joining us to talk about the Garden Wildlife Health project. Katharina will explain how the project works and how the general public can help collect invaluable data on wildlife health, with some examples of what they’ve learned so far.
It is more important than ever that people are able to connect with nature through their local spaces.
Become a Citizen Scientist and help us find + record Shark Eggcases which have washed up on our beaches.
​
​
Empty eggcases can help indicate species presence and diversity. By recording your finds, you're helping us to discover more about egglaying species of sharks and skates living in our waters.
Eggcases wash up all year round. So, whatever the time of year keep your eyes peeled!
Hannah Stitfall demonstrates a few ways to help wildlife in your outdoor spaces.
Make your garden a haven for wildlife, follow the links below to view videos, that have been created by the Springwatch/Autumnwacht team, which are simple guides on how to help wildlife in your garden.
Try building a pond or bug hotel which will help entice birds, plants and wildlife into your backyards.
We know hedgehogs are in trouble. The UK has lost a third of all our hedgehogs since the millennium.
​
Hedgehogs love gardens, and fortunately there are around half a million hectares of garden in the UK. We know what hedgehogs need to survive in gardens.
​
Do something simple that will make a real difference for hedgehogs
Pledge to make a hole in your garden fence or wall, then once you’ve done it come and map it on the BIG Hedgehog Map.
We want to make sure the hedgehog, the UK’s only spiny mammal, remains a common and familiar part of British life.
Nurdles are small plastic pellets about the size of a lentil. Countless billion are used each year to make nearly all our plastic products but many end up washing up on our shores.
​
​
Nurdles hunts are fun and taking part is easy. By joining in you are helping end plastic pellet pollution.
Over time pellets can build up on beaches and in sand, affecting ecosystems and wildlife. Let's work together to clean our beaches of nurdles.
As the saying goes “There’s an app for that!”. Whether you’re an expert naturalist, a part-time birder, or entirely new to loving British wildlife, there are fantastic apps that can help expand your knowledge. Some of them will even let you add your findings into national databases of wildlife.

Enjoy exploring the sea shore; interested in crabs; want to contribute to ocean science? As part of the SeaChange project the team has developed the Crab Watch app to help people both learn about, and submit records of, the crab species they find on the shores around Europe.
​
The crab records that you submit will allow scientists to assess the distribution and abundance of both native and non-native crabs throughout Europe and assess the potential impacts that climate change and non-native species have on native populations.
The Crab Watch App has been developed to allow you to both learn and submit recodes of the crabs species you find on the shores around Europe.
