Join us for City Nature Challenge 2026, the first to be run in Exeter!

Event details

Over the weekend of the 24th-27th April 2026, record wildlife you see in our beautiful city, to contribute to one of the biggest community science events in the world. You can contribute by taking photos or sound recordings of wild plants and animals, or by helping to identify other people's records. The identification period where you can upload your records and verify other people’s photographic records is between April 28th - May 10th 2026. We are recording our wildlife using iNaturalist - a free recording app available on both Android and IOS devices.

Our project page is all set up and ready here - https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2026-exeter.

We are planning events during the weekend at the University campus and across the city which we will share on this page and on the project journal.
