Greater Manchester (GM) has entered the 2019 global City Nature Challenge from Fri 26th -Mon 29th April, with the GM entry run by Manchester Museum and Great Manchester Local Records Centre (GMLRC) / Greater Manchester Ecology Unit (GMEU).

The aim is to record as many species with as many recorders as possible anywhere in GM over the 4 days – reserves, gardens, parks, local patches etc. GMLRC are aiming to have recording events across GM – ideally one in each district – for anyone interested in joining in locally.

So far the following recording events are likely – note all TBC – at:

• Whitworth Park (Museum/GMLRC)
• Smithills Estate (Woodland Trust)
• Chorlton Water Park (RSPB/Mersey valley)
• Wythenshawe (Sandilands wood), also Trafford? (City of Trees)
• Peel Park/Meadows (Salford Rangers)
