Helping Sustain our Village Community + Working Creatively to Tackle the Challenge of Climate Change
Following early work to catalogue the plant species in the Humpty Dumpty fields done by Ted Leafe, our first version of the Ilmington Nature Survey was published on the 20:20 website from 2019. It allowed people to enter data about wildlife sightings from all areas of the village and its immediate surroundings.
Since then, we have reviewed the format of the project and have opted to transfer everything across to a new, more efficient and user-friendly platform, namely Epicollect 5. This APP is administered by Cardiff University and allows groups to set up data entry fields for large databases. The aim of the project is to get as many people as possible in the village to enter their wildlife sightings, so that the community can build a detailed record of the biodiversity in Ilmington and the surrounding area.
Click Here to see a set of instructions that anyone can use to download the Epicollect5 app and then use it to add their own wildlife sightings to the records. Please have a go at getting involved.
