RESIDENTS in Cardiff are being encouraged to take part in the biggest wildlife survey ever carried out in the city.
The Cardiff Garden Wildlife Survey aims to find out about the hidden wildlife in the capital, and is asking every household to help discover the wildlife in their gardens.
The survey, which is a joint project between Cardiff council and the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, is asking residents to identify different species of birds, mammals, butterflies, reptiles and amphibians in their garden.
The results will be used to create a better understanding of garden wildlife and will give experts an idea of how important gardens are to urban wildlife.
The results will also feed into Cardiff’s local biodiversity action plan which sets out how to conserve and protect wildlife.
Members of Cardiff Biodiversity Partnership will also be at the National Museum Cardiff today between 10am and 4pm to answer any questions and offer information and advice on how to encourage wildlife into gardens.
