The Big Count 2024
What is it all about?
The Big Count is part of our Great Somerset Wildlife Count initiative - Somerset Wildlife Trust’s annual programme of citizen science species counts across the county. We run counts for single species or small groups of species but the Big Count is the big one!
Once a year we ask everyone to keep their eyes peeled for a handful of species over an extended period of time for The Big Count, and record them on the dedicated project on the iNaturalist app. This year's the Big Count runs from 17th - 26th June!
