What will happen to the data?
The National Garden Scheme is working with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), an independent environmental organisation and leader in citizen science research to deliver this project. UKCEH will manage and summarise the data collected, producing anonymised summaries to help improve understanding of how gardens support biodiversity. Funding is provided by the National Garden Scheme through The Swire Charitable Trust, with summary findings shared with National Garden Scheme supporters and the wider public.
There are no anticipated risks associated with taking part beyond those of everyday gardening activities. We hope participants will find enjoyment in observing wildlife in their garden and contributing to environmental research.
Full information on how data is stored and used is provided upon registration.
