Help us to record nature on the University Campus for our first entry to the City Nature Challenge
About this Event

Help us record wildlife for Exeter’s first City Nature Challenge! This is a global biodiversity recording event run between 24th- 27th April 2026, when we are asking people to go out and record the wildlife they see in Exeter using the free iNaturalist app. You can join us on an organised event, go and record nature on your favourite walk around Exeter, or use your nature knowledge to verify people’s photos afterwards, contributing to our national biodiversity datasets. Join the project page here and check out the other events on our webpage

Join us for an afternoon nature walk around the beautiful University Campus! Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of our amazing local wildlife, as we try to spot birds, mammals, insects and more!


We will be meeting on Friday 24th April on the steps outside the main entrance of the Forum on Stocker Road at 13:00 and walking for an hour, finishing back at the Forum at 14:00.
