About this Event
Please join us for this accessible birdwatching “Big Sit” event at the edge of the Medway Valley Heritage Forest Environmentally Significant Area on the west end of Western University’s campus. This event is being led by Brendon Samuels, PhD candidate in the Department of Biology. Learn how to identify birds that live on campus by sound and sight, and how to use the iNaturalist community science app to identify species from photos and contribute to the City Nature Challenge. Binoculars will be provided. We will remain in the same place for 1 hour.
The location for this event is paved, flat and wheelchair accessible, with an accessible bathroom nearby. Parking is available on-site. The site is generally quiet with no crowds. The site can be reached using public transit – the nearest stop is at Western Road in front of Support Services Building (SSB). There is bicycle storage nearby. There are shaded and sunny areas on site and little wind.
We will meet in front of Support Services Building along Western Road at 11:00 am and travel together to the area for the event (5 minutes along a downward slope sidewalk or using the elevator in SSB).
Please contact Brendon at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Help track biodiversity in London by participating in the City Nature Challenge!
The CNC is an international community science event in which regions compete to make the most observations of nature. Community science data is useful for tracking trends in biodiversity and can inform local conservation management and land use planning. Participating in the CNC is a way for you to contribute to protecting wildlife and habitat in London!
From April 26th to 29th, make observations of wild plants, animals and fungi and upload the photos or sounds into iNaturalist.
