Scotland counts

It’s a great way to get outside, to learn more about the natural world and contribute to important scientific research.  Across the world, volunteers gather information vital to protecting and improving our environment, from spotting butterflies to identifying new galaxies, from counting birds to collecting worms!

Check out our website for more information about our projects such as HogWatch and the Dead Good Deadwood Survey.  

TCV Scotland can help you discover your ‘inner scientist’, we can help you discover a hidden passion for nature, and we can also help you to protect, enhance and enjoy your local green spaces.  Through our long-running Scotland Counts Citizen Science project we offer a broad range of services and support a number of creative, engaging and innovative projects.

Including:

• Introduction to Citizen Science training courses for community groups, charities and other organisations
• CPD training for educators on delivering our hugely successful Hedgehog Friendly School programme
• Guided nature and species identification walks
• Training on carrying out surveys in your local greenspace
• A regular Citizen Science volunteering group based in Glasgow to meet new people, learn new skills and provide experience carrying out biological surveys
