Citizen science offers a unique opportunity to connect with the outdoors while contributing to real scientific research.

A recent study by the University of South Australia found that participants in nature-based citizen science projects experienced lower levels of loneliness and increased physical activity.

It's a social activity with tangible health benefits. You can learn new skills, explore natural environments, and meet like-minded people.

The longer you're involved, the greater the benefits for your health and wellbeing.
