Using Social Media to spread the word on biodiversity
We want to encourage people to share our experiences as we learn more about our urban biodiversity. Here are some links to help you get started.
Remember to use #BiodiversityMN when posting.
Recording local biodiversity
We really want to increase the number of people recording local biodiversity in our
town. You will be surprised how easy it is! The starting point is to go out and see
some wildlife. To record what you have seen you'll need to know what species you
have found, plus where and when you saw it, and say who you are. There is lots of
help available, and websites and apps can help with all steps in the process.
The National Biodiversity Centre provides the portal where we can make records.
