Wildlife Counts

Because nature has no voice, but you do.

​

Our local greenbelt is full of life. From hedgehogs and deer to birds, bees, and butterflies, these spaces are vital habitats; but many go unnoticed, unrecorded, and unprotected.

 

By sharing what you’ve seen, you’ll help us prove that this land isn’t “empty” or “low value”, it’s alive.

 

Whether it’s a one-off sighting or a regular visitor to your garden, it Counts.

​

Log your sightings. Help us speak up for local wildlife.

📝 How to Take Part in Wildlife Counts

• Choose a location
  Pick a spot where you can safely observe wildlife in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield or Grenoside. Record (and where possible) take photos of the wildlife you can see in their natural habitat. 

• Submit your results using the online form
  You’ll find a link to the form below. Please complete one form per hour counted.

• Repeat as often as you can, and you can submit multiple forms
  The more data we collect, the stronger our case will be.

• Be honest and accurate
  Record what you see to the best of your ability. Please don’t guess or exaggerate; this data could be used in formal planning responses.

• Add any useful notes 

You can include comments about the time of day, weather, nearby disturbances (like building work or dog walkers), or anything else that might explain or affect the wildlife you observed.
