Tuesday Talks 2025
Welcome to our free Lunchtime Talk 1-2pm in the Lecture Theatre the first Tuesday of each month.
Tuesday the 1st of April - Cumbria Wild Watch- The importance of Recording Wildlife.
In 2024, Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre at Tullie launched a new wildlife survey for Cumbria. The aim of the survey is to encourage as many Cumbrian residents and visitors to record all the wildlife they see in their gardens, urban green spaces or when out and about in the glorious Cumbrian countryside during the last weekend in June. Taking place every year, the Cumbria Wild Watch survey will help to detect changes taking place in the county, from the impacts of climate change to changing land use and management practices.
It isn't just about generating data. It is also an opportunity to engage with the natural world which has proven health and wellbeing benefits. The survey is a simple but very effective way to do something for nature while enjoying being out and about with family and friends - or can be done alone while enjoying your favourite beverage on a garden seat!
Join Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre for this lunchtime talk which will look at the results from the first ever Cumbria Wild Watch and how you can get involved this year. Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre will also talk about some notable wildlife in Cumbria and where to see it, as well as links to the Natural History Collection at Tullie.
