DESCRIPTION
Xplore is a science centre in Wrecsam, Wales and Wild Watch is our first ever citizen science project. Wild Watch is a wildlife spotting project, specifically aimed at people new to citizen science or wildlife spotting. Simply download a free app, join our project page, and take some pictures of any wildlife you see when you’re out and about or even sat in your garden. The app will tell you what species you have found, and scientists will be able to use this info to help them learn more about our local environment. Enjoy exploring; learn more about wildlife; help protect your environment!
