Coventry's City Nature Challenge

City Nature Challenge is an annual event which aims to get people out and into their local open and green spaces.

Taking place from 26 – 29 April, the challenge is a friendly competition between 100s of cities, regions and countries to see who can get the most people making recordings and observations of species.

Coventry is taking part in the challenge for the fourth year with the hopes of encouraging more residents to take part, get active and record species across the city.

The more people who participate, the more records will be gathered which will create a map of different plant and animal species across Coventry.

The challenge will allow organisations including Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and Canal & Rivers Trust to better understand the biodiversity in our city and region.

The City Nature Challenge is not only about getting out into local green spaces – it’s also good for physical and mental wellbeing and it encourages people to take notice of the wildlife on their doorstep.

The first Challenge event is taking place on 27 April(External link). Stay up to date on Coventry City Council’s social media channels where more free in person and online activities will be published soon. Events will be helped in a range of parks and open spaces including Lake View Park, Charterhouse, Egdwick Park, Wyken Slough and Coundon Wedge.
