Subcategories
Energy
Renewable energy and sustainable solutions are appearing across our communities, but there's no comprehensive local picture of where they are or how they're used.
This is an exploratory observation theme.
If you notice something, solar panels, heat pumps, wind turbines, community energy projects, record it.
Trees
Trees are one of the most visible and important parts of our urban environment and one of the least systematically recorded by local people.
Whatever you notice, it belongs here.
You don't need to identify the species, or collect measurements, but you can if you wish!
Nature
Notice something alive?
Birds, insects, plants, fungi, signs of animals, if you spotted it, it belongs here.
Water
Surface water flooding affects communities across the country, but local experience of where water gathers, drains slowly, or causes problems is rarely captured in official records.
Your observations help build a picture that planners and researchers don't otherwise have access to.
Puddles, flooding, rivers, drought, ice, all of it counts!
