Nature Needs You! Citizen Science with Fintry Development Trust
‘Nature Needs You’ nature survey
The Forth Valley Biodiversity Festival is underway! For the month of August, nature and biodiversity projects across the region will be celebrated.
Here in Fintry, we’d like to invite you to take part in our citizen science ‘Nature Needs You’ nature survey! Your survey will help us monitor the biodiversity of Fintry and guide us to where improvements may be needed.
It’s very simple, all you need to do is:
– Request a survey form from us or pick one up in the Sports Club.
– Pick your favourite outdoor spot in Fintry – it could be the view from your living room window, your garden, the community garden, the banks of the Endrick, the castle drive.
– Wherever it is, we ask you to spend up to an hour in that spot looking for and recording any nature you see. This can be the plants, trees and flowers; birds, butterflies and bees; ants, spiders and woodlice; squirrels, hedgehogs or frogs! Anything from the natural world, jot it down on your FDT survey sheet.
– Once completed, please send back your form to us in our letterbox in the Sports Club, or you can scan and email the form to admin@fintrydt.org.uk.
Everyone who returns a form by Monday 31st August will be automatically entered into our prize draw! We have some great prizes to be won:
– Adult entries: Benview Garden Centre voucher
– Ages 11 – 18: Eco Friendly Ear Buds
– Age under-11: The FDT Explorer Kit
So, what are you waiting for! Request your survey form today or pick one up from the Sports Club foyer.
