Explore the botany side of our citizen science Ecology programme!

Weather depending, we will be getting up close and personal with the plants on one of our diverse survey sites, from brownfield to woodland. With your help we will be establishing a baseline of species on site, and hopefully show the diversity of plant life in our urban spaces.

What the volunteering will involve:

• Learning the basics of plant identification
• Using iNaturalist to record findings and feed into national monitoring schemes
• Experience in using keys and ID books
• Exploring the plant life across various habitats on site
• Learning from our Biodiversity Officers
• All necessary equipment and any required PPE.

You'll be a good fit if you have:

• An interest in botany/biodiversity/ecology and connecting with your local environment.
• Enthusiasm for the project & the objectives of Cody Dock.

What you'll need:

• Sturdy footwear (boots/solid trainers) 
• Weather appropriate clothing 
• Refillable water bottle 
• Meet at the community boat The River Princess at 10.30 am

No experience necessary, all are welcome, let's botanize!
