Report written by Sam Ollason
A group of runners helped ran around Victoria Park recording wildlife data as part of the 2019 City Nature Challenge. The challenge involves people all over the world using a mobile app to take record and identify pictures of wildlife. This year over 180 cities are taking part in the challenge! Last year, Bath & Bristol recorded the most data out of all the teams in Europe. So one of our motivations today was to make sure that we held on to this title!
We ran all around corners of Victoria Park to record data. We took pictures of trees, plants, bushes and we also managed to get some snaps of birds darting about!
We were delighted to have a few runners join us today for their very first GoodGym run. Thanks for coming to volunteer with us and we hope you join us again soon!
A quote from one of the runners: "Really enjoyed meeting this fun bunch of people in Bath, getting a run in while doing good for science! Great way to spend a Sunday morning :)"
Thanks to all the team at the National History Consortium for organising the challenge and thanks in particular to Stuart for joining us on the run to give us a hand!
