🌿 Calling All Garden Wildlife Enthusiasts! Join Our Wildlife Survey! 🌿


Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round! It’s time to unleash your inner David Attenborough and embark on a wild adventure right in your own backyard. Yes, you heard me correctly—the Wokingham and Barkham Wildlife Garden Survey is live!

🌱 Why Participate?

Picture this: You, armed with a clipboard (or a smartphone, because it’s the 21st century), stealthily stalking through your garden like a secret agent. Your mission? To assess the covert operations of our local wildlife. Are they thriving? Are they plotting world domination? Only you can find out!

  1. Snapshot of Nature: In just two minutes, you’ll help map the wildlife in our area.

🦋 How to Get Involved:

  1. Explore: Channel your inner Bear Grylls. Observe the critters—bees, butterflies, hedgehogs, and maybe even a rogue gnome or two. (They count too!)
  2. Record: Whip out your smartphone (or quill and parchment if you’re feeling medieval) and share your findings. Our online form awaits your revelations.
  3. Spread the Word: Rally your fellow Wokingham friends! Tell them it’s time to put down the tea and crumpets and get their hands dirty. The more, the merrier!

🌸 What’s in It for You?

  • Help us provide information to the planners on the true map of wildlife active in the area.

📅 Survey Details:

  • When: Right now! It’s live, like a Rolling Stones concert or a SpaceX launch.
  • Where: Any Wokingham garden. We want to record species across Wokingham and Barkham, the more data the better! Yours, your neighbour’s, or even that mysterious overgrown one down the street.

So, my fellow garden warriors, grab your binoculars, channel your inner Kate Humble, and let’s make our gardens buzz with excitement! 🌿🐝🌼
