City Nature Challenge

BRISTOL & BATH CITY REGION, 27-30 APRIL 2018

Which city on Earth has the most wildlife and the most nature-loving citizens?

Between 27-30 April 2018 Bristol and Bath competed with 65 cities on five continents to show the world how amazing our region is for people and nature. Together we embarked on an epic contest: to discover and record as much wildlife as possible over 4 days. Observations counted towards local, national and international efforts to learn about and protect our regions' amazing wildlife.
