The Great Yorkshire Creature Count takes place 15th and 16th June, and encourages people to spot, count and record local wildlife – starting with a list of 30 creatures great and small.

The Great Yorkshire Creature Count is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a weekend dedicated to wildlife close to home.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s wildlife census on 15th and 16th June encourages people across Yorkshire to delve, search and look all around for creatures in their gardens and local green spaces.

Taking part in the Count is fun, free and easy to do, and everyone can take part no matter how big or small your green space is. Sign up and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust will provide everything you need, including a starting list of 30 creatures to look out for, wildlife gardening advice, inspiration and children’s activities. Spend just 30 minutes – as many times as you like - anytime between 12 noon on Saturday and 12 noon on Sunday.
