Description	The Citizen Nature Watch project endeavours in encouraging engagement with surrounding nature through accessible technologies. The project is a collaboration between Goldsmiths Interaction Research Studio and The Royal College of Art, Design Products Programme. Dr Philips' research and practice in the field of open design and public participation in making informed the development and exploitation of a DIY camera trap toolkit. This how-to guide has been widely downloaded or shared in face-to-face workshops, and the use of the resulting cameras, facilitated by Phillips' approach, has had a transformative impact on users' understanding and attitudes to nature and biodiversity, resulting in new pro-biodiversity behaviours. The engagement work led by Dr Phillips around these toolkits has also influenced the ongoing public participation and learning activities of organisations including the: Design Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Wildlife Trusts, Durrell Trust and more. The resulting impact increased participants engagement within the natural world and self-constructed technology agency over their surrounding environment on the My Naturewatch project (NW). This how-to guide has been widely downloaded or shared in face-to-face workshops, and the use of the resulting cameras has had a transformative impact on users' understanding and attitudes to nature and biodiversity, resulting in new pro-environmental behaviours. The engagement work led by Dr Phillips around these toolkits has also influenced partner organisations' ongoing public participation and learning activities. As open technology the kits have a life we can never fully know however, the project has been: downloaded 4,000 times, estimated at least? 3,000 cameras constructed (that we know of), 24 workshops (run by the research team) with another 15 sessions run (independently of research team) by conservation, civic or cultural institution/organisations (that we know of). Known audiences engaged have included: old aged pensioners, teenagers, school children, citizen scientists, museum volunteers, museum directors, families, museum visitors, conservation experts, technology experts, technology novices, bird watchers, online audiences, cinema goers, conservation projects, communities, MP's, Animal Hospitals, cultural institutions, infant schools, broadcasters, social media audiences, NGO's, school governors and more. We reached new audiences through a tv broadcast reaching 2 million viewers (live) with unknown quantities through iPlayer and online. The My NatureWatch project used an open access, affordable DIY camera trap kit to engage diverse audiences and organisations with a combination of technology and nature. The impact from provision of the camera combined with scalable workshops and train the trainer events, increased participants engagement, learning and participation within the natural world and agency to use technology to engage with their surrounding environment. Participants were ages 6 - 83 with diverse backgrounds, from technophobes to techno geeks, wildlife activists to novices. Engagement work using these toolkits has also influenced partner organisations' ongoing public participation and learning activities. The My NatureWatch Camera toolkit and workshops have fostered continual benefit in major national and local organisations by incorporating the distinctive Open Design approach with public participation in the practice of ecology and conservation. Open technologies have their own life, however data shows that instructions have been downloaded at least 4,000 times with 3,500 cameras constructed, calculated from data provided by the main (but not exclusive) suppliers. National Museums The London Design Museum adopted the My Naturewatch approach to develop engagement outside the 'four walls' of the Museum and to engage different demographic(s). Activities included; a workshops series, a participant-led pop-up exhibition and two expert panel sessions, passing on the stories and insights from an RCA designed training programme. The sessions were run in cooperation with The Holland Park Biodiversity Centre. The workshops worked with over 60's who would not usually engage in technology creation. This has led to a reconsideration of the museum's strategy around participation, design and ecology: "This provided the opportunity for the museum's widening participation strand to deliver activity both on and off-site, and to think about the opportunities for design led activities in parks and other areas of ecological interest". The work transformed the Design Museum outreach teams' approach to sustainability "It opened-up new ways of thinking within the Learning Department on how the museum can collaborate with HEI's on practice-led design research", "the course also demonstrated that there is a crucial role for museums to play in introducing contemporary design issues and technologies to older audiences". My NatureWatch also worked with the Natural History Museum and their leading Citizen Science team, building the confidence in technology of their volunteers and opened up what the Museum thought was possible. The Victoria & Albert Museum featured My NatureWatch in The Digital Design Weekend with 25,000 visitors, yielding increased web traffic and increased engagement with a public audience. Conservation Organisations The RCA team developed a 'Training the Trainers' scheme and worked with 16 leading wildlife groups whose staff were trained to use the My NatureWatch toolkit Including; National Wildlife Trusts, National Wetlands Centres, Kew Gardens, Spitalfields City Farm, The Durrell Trust and The Conservation Volunteers UK (TCV). This led to at least 15 (for which there is data) workshops being run independently with audiences well beyond the research teams' remit. A review meeting to consider the results, held at the Design Museum, showed that the My NatureWatch project led to; increased engagement with volunteers to deploy the technology, improved understanding of biodiversity, new strategies informed combining technology / nature and progress towards conservation aims. The Durrell Trust has adopted My NatureWatch as part of its 'Conservation Learning' strategy. The Durrell Trust became part of the Knepp Estate rewilding project which is re-introducing Storks back into the UK. This world leading project used the My NatureWatch toolkit to log and tag flighted birds, gaining insight into animal activity. The reduced toolkit cost, enabled The Durrell Trust to train volunteers (who feed the storks) to use the My NatureWatch equipment, increasing public engagement as well as cataloguing opportunities. Following this success, The Durrell Trust has now taken the decision to use My NatureWatch in working with schools and up to 1,000 teenage participants [COVID delay] who traditionally do not engage in conservation, this includes a submitted lottery bid for £250k. This 'Beauty in Nature project' will start in Jersey and roll out to rewilding sites round the world. Other examples include The Ouse & Adur Trust, an independent charity creating a new water way, using the My NatureWatch toolkit, creating a rental scheme for local families and schools, increasing participation and local interest as well as getting a better picture of the wildlife behaviour in the area and The Wildlife Trust (WT) supporting local volunteers to monitor hedgehogs using My NatureWatch. Due to Covid-19 a carefully planned response with WT and their international outreach for #30dayswild has been approved and re co-ordinated (June 2021) leading to 250,000+ potential impacts across network(s). More strategically My NatureWatch has transformed the way the 46 members of The Wildlife Trusts, (Directors and Heads of Policy) view technology as a way to engage a more diverse audience in a new 'ground-up' approach; "without the My Naturewatch project we would not be thinking like this and/or encouraging the use of technological approaches within our means". This underpins planning for their 2021-2031 Wilder Future strategy, providing a lasting legacy. Engaging the general public with technology & nature via the media On 11 June 2018, SpringWatch dedicated nearly a quarter of their programme to My NatureWatch, with 2 million live viewers. On the programme Chris Packham said "It's fantastic to be honest with you, the fact that we can all be involved with this is brilliant, they do work really well" [5.9a]. Since the SpringWatch broadcast, thousands of My Naturewatch camera photographs have been posted to the forum and to social media sites such as Twitter [5.9b]. It is evident from forum comments and social media that these are a tiny fraction of the pictures that have actually been taken: it is not unusual for hundreds of pictures to be taken in a single session, most containing animals. The BBC 'Wild Academy' (SpringWatch spin-off) for young people and schools also featured the project and (infamous) presenter Maddie Moate independently created a YouTube video about making and using the camera trap [5.9c] and followed up by posting her wildlife pictures on Twitter and Facebook. The technology was then also used on 'GardenWatch' [5.9d]. The BBC producer of the SpringWatch show noted "Since its inception, SpringWatch has tried to innovate in terms of ?nding ways to interact with its audience and in ?nding ways for them to interact with wildlife, and the My Naturewatch project allowed us to do both in new and lasting ways". In addition it "continues to provide content to this day as well as being a benchmark and inspiration for developing new ideas". Impact on Participants Engagement activities, designed along the three key principles of Phillips' Open Design work, have been held with at least 3,500 participants run directly by the project team and indirectly by other participating organisations between April 2018 and March 2020. A series of evaluations with participants investigated how their knowledge of the natural world and the environment had changed as a result. Richmond University, Kingston University, Bristol University, EPSRC Young Researchers, Pearl Institute (India), Schumacher College, Lewes Old Grammar School, Westmeads School London and the Coder Dojo extra-curricular schools have all used the My Naturewatch approach to engage students with biodiversity through technology. Coder Dojo Doncaster explained the benefits in a review for HelloWorld, and Westmeads school outlined benefits for attendance and punctuality as well as curriculum development. The University of Sussex Ecology Department was awarded £20,000 independently as they were using the My Naturewatch toolkit to engage schools and teachers "passing it onto the schools was pretty cool, seeing the artwork that they've generated and the poems that they've written was pretty cool. That wouldn't have been created without the initial spark. First from you guys, obviously, making the camera, and then me taking the idea and forcing it onto the schools". The evaluations reported participants adding new interests and goals around technology, understanding of nature and/or design and making to their initial ambitions for their cameras . Amateur participants also all reported increased awareness of biodiversity or lack thereof in their environments. They also reported capturing wildlife they didn't know existed in their gardens or immediate environment. Participants reported making changes to improve the biodiversity of their garden or immediate environment to improve the chances of them taking the photos they wanted with their cameras. Technological benefits were particularly prevalent in the over 60's who reported feeling digitally 're-skilled' with less fear of technology and more engagement with outdoor spaces and species. "The process has made me feel re-skilled and I am keen to learn more" "I know more about this technology than my grandchildren, which is empowering". In terms of engagement with biodiversity and conservation the recorded impacts include: participants changing their landscape architecture and adding ponds to encourage wildlife and creating new understandings of the local environment: "I've come to some sort of acceptance of the foxes and the squirrels, and I've adapted my behaviour to accommodate their lifestyle, to protect my plants, and things like that", "this project has allowed me to look at things in a completely different way in my tiny little garden". This insight into the experience of hundreds of people who made and used the cameras demonstrates the profundity of the impact of this approach to public participation in design for individuals and, indirectly, their environment.

Organisation	British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	The My Naturewatch project formed a link with the Planet Earth Unit at the BBC in Bristol, throughout the project this included site visits, pitches and R&D sessions.
Collaborator Contribution	The BBC Planet Earth Unit, is responsible for the BBC SpringWatch programme, that is family viewing for wildlife engagement. The collaboration provided a direct link to their team and then a spot on the 2018 series for 8 minutes. This was a live broadcast accompanied by onsite pre-recordings. Excerpt from BBC SpringWatch producer 2017-2020 Chris Howard My Naturewatch was not only a thoroughly enjoyable project to work on with the project team, but was of genuine and lasting value to Springwatch and the BBC. Since its inception, Springwatch has tried to innovate in terms of finding ways to interact with its audience and in finding ways for them to interact with wildlife, and the My Naturewatch project allowed us to do both in new and lasting ways. By developing, testing and releasing the cameras alongside the team, we were able to democratise the very workflows which make Springwatch so special - putting small cameras in with wildlife and observing what it does. This is generally an expensive and laborious process, but this project made it much cheaper and more readily available and we received (and continue to receive) both footage from cameras built using this system, and testimonials from our audience who have made the cameras (often as families) saying how much they enjoyed the process and the result. Following on from the My Naturewatch project Springwatch ran a GardenWatch programme in 2019, asking viewers to monitor and assess the wildlife in their back gardens for a nationwide survey. Although the My Naturewatch cameras were not designed as a specific part of that experiment, they laid the groundwork for this deeper audience interaction and we continue to receive data collected through the systems to this day. It's fair to say that the project was a great success at the time; providing a new way to interact with our audience and for them to interact with wildlife (as per the brief) and content for the show, but also continues to provide content to this day as well as being a benchmark and inspiration for developing new ideas.
Impact	The project was featured on the BBC SpringWatch programme, on their CBEEBIES series and online. Putting the work front and centre for the public.

Description	Durrell Trust
Organisation	Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
Country	Jersey
Sector	Charity/Non Profit
PI Contribution	The My Naturewatch project fostered a relationship with the Durrell Trust through our work with the Training the Trainers programme at the RCA. The work engaged the White Stork project (nationally acclaimed for re-introducing storks to the UK) and the Knepp estate, infamous for piloting rewilding in the UK. The Collaboration has led to bid submissions and cultivated a wider engagement across the project. Initially the NW project was working with local volunteers on the White Stork Project, using the cameras to check for migration tags. That relationship has been so successful that we are now running engagement activities within their host location (Jersey) to engage teenagers in the natural world around them. The RCA team has provided equipment, PR, training and technical support.
Collaborator Contribution	The Durrel Trust have included us in funding applications (submitted up to £250,000) to encourage more teenage participation within the natural world fostering lasting impacts. The collaboration is now (in covid-19 times) undertaking a "high street" take over, where using the NW kits teenagers and young people will co-op a pop-up exhibition across Jersey to test; engagement principles, scalable opportunities and nature aspirations that can be translated across their international sites. The accessibility of the NW kits means that Durrell Trust can engage as many teenagers as possible. Bid Submitted to National Lottery Grants for Heritage (£250,000) OM-20-02136, GRCF2020: White Stork Project - Inspiring the next generation of nature conservationists, This year, white storks successfully bred in the UK for the first time in over 600 years, thanks to the White Stork Project (WSP) reintroduction at Knepp. Culturally, this species has long represented new life and renewal. As a charismatic bird that often lives in close association with people, there is no stronger symbol to restore our relationship with the natural world, in a time of increasing disengagement with nature. Based on University of Derby nature connectedness research, this project aims to create a 'Youth Ambassador' group with whom we will co-develop a digital outreach and engagement programme aimed at 11-16 year olds. Alongside a further release of 20 white storks, we will develop outreach resources using technologies to explore ecology, migration, and environmental restoration using the WSP example. Finally, we will conduct a national photography competition using DIY wildlife cameras, with categories based on the rebirth and recovery themes of the WSP, inspiring people to see the beauty in nature around them. We will target youth groups to engage those less well-represented in nature conservation with exhibitions for the winners. The project will create two new jobs and an internship, and can begin immediately.
Impact	This is a multi disciplinary collaboration with conservation, wildlife and zoological experts. They primarily work in Jersey with international bases. Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust - UK Registered UK Charity Number 1121989

Description	The Design Museum
Organisation	The Design Museum
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	The Design Museum hosted a series of workshops and developments for an over 60's Tech group engaging in the local area and capturing wildlife sightings. The work included training and facilitation for the Design Museum staff.
Collaborator Contribution	The Design Museum hosted the workshops, free of charge and gave us space for a pop-up exhibition of the findings and final photographs.
Impact	The work has yielded a number of publications (see publications) and impact to what the "learning team" at the Design Museum currently do. due to the work they have more understanding and ambition to "take the museum outside" engaging wider audiences, especially beyond their own conventional demographic. The learning producers stated that the work totally revised the way they think about sustainable practice and are involve. Excerpt from impact letter // How it changed the Design Museums approach Within our widening participation strand, the My Naturewatch project was unique in several ways. First, this was the first time that the museum (since opening at its new site in 2016) has collaborated with an HE institution on practice-based research. As a result, it encouraged us to think differently about how a course was structured so that it met all stakeholder objectives and ensured that there was a meaningful outcome for both participants and the research project at the end of the course. More generally, it opened-up new ways of thinking within the Learning Department on how the museum can collaborate with HEl's on practice-led design research. Second, the collaboration also introduced the museum to a new partner: the Holland Park Ecology Centre. This provided the opportunity for the museum's widening participation strand to deliver activity both on and off-site, and to think about the opportunities for design-led activities in parks and other areas of ecological interest. The museum is now in conversations with the Ecology Centre to explore future areas of collaboration with Schools, Young People and Families audiences. Third, it has given the museum greater confidence in delivering digital programme activity. This is now being pursued in the Young People and Families programme, and within the museum's adult learning programme. Developing the course structure with the My Naturewatch project has strengthened our understanding of how to effectively communicate technology related learning activity; strategies to stretch-and-challenge different abilities and provided techniques for overcoming assumptions about the inaccessibility of learning new technologies. More generally, it opened-up new ways of thinking within the Learning Department on how the museum can collaborate with HEl's on practice-led design research. The empowering dimension of the project also extended to the non-technological elements of the course. Getting the group out to visit the Holland Park nature reserve encouraged the empowering dimension of the project and helped to build greater engagement and knowledge with local residents in their park and the nature reserve at Holland Park. On the 22nd of November the Museum hosted the charities and NGO's from the Training the Trainers project. This was a fascinating opportunity to learn more about the impact digital design was having in the conservation sector and provided an invaluable chance for knowledge exchange across the membership groups, who are working in different sectors and contexts. We are currently hosting a short film from the work of the day, which is reaching our international audience and entire social media following. Later in the year 2020, we invited the My Naturewatch project to deliver a presentation at our annual event for our Young Creatives programme, enabling the My Naturewatch work to reach a new audience demographic (14-19 year olds). This was alongside other leading professionals with a focus on sustainable values. The talk was to 75 young design minds and aimed to give them an insight into professional careers in design, and different strategies for having social impact through it. Staff comments or perceptions from Bernard Hay (Senior Learning Producer) Hosting the My Naturewatch Project was a unique opportunity to engage audiences relatively new to design, by demonstrating how design can connect them with their personal passions and interests. Over the duration of the course, the participants bonded well and by the end there was a strong sense of camaraderie within the group, to the point where they were beginning to explore self-organised meet-ups after the course. I was also struck by the sense of agency that arose with participants from involvement in the course. A couple of the participants were grandparents and remarked that it had given them something they could share with their grandchildren who, as digital natives, were regarded as having a higher level of technological literacy. There was a sense of excitement that this was something that could be shared with their families. The empowering dimension of the project also extended to the non-technological elements of the course. Getting the group out to visit the Holland Park nature reserve encouraged participants to be active and to explore the city. The collaborative ethos of the entire course, from building the cameras to creating a mini-group exhibition, helped participants to interact. Finally, the course also demonstrated that there is a crucial role for museums to play in introducing contemporary design issues and technologies to older audiences. Whereas programmes for older people often focus on traditional practices and historical objects the My Naturewatch course explored areas of practice, such as open source and the maker movement, that were new for the participants on the course. For instance, one participant mentioned how much he enjoyed this element and how exciting it was for him to be a part of a live research project. • We had 11 participants take place over the four weeks. All four were over 60's from the local borough of Kensington and Chelsea. • On November 16th, 2018, the group held a pop-up display of the My Naturewatch Project at the Design Museum. The museum had 988 visitors that day. • There were 291 number of visitors to the My Naturewatch event web-page on the Design Museum website in July 2020. • The Design Museum subsequently hosted a talk by Dr Rob Phillips on the project to 75 young designers (14-19) as part of it's Young Creatives Takeover Event in February 2020. Since working with the NW team on the initial four week course (especially Dr Phillips) we have been able to showcase My Naturewatch through other projects to new audiences, in particular Dr Phillips presentation as a part of our Young Creatives programme. The My Naturewatch programme enabled the museum to engage with the local community of Kensington and Chelsea, in particular older residents, and to connect with relevant charities and organisations who may become potential collaborators in the future (e.g. Open Nature, Holland Park Ecology Centre).

Description	The Wildlife Trusts
Organisation	The Wildlife Trusts
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Charity/Non Profit
PI Contribution	The NW project has worked with regional sectors of the Wildlife Trusts throughout the My Naturewatch project, Namely; The Sussex Wildlife Trusts. The WT are 46 separate regional organisations that operate across the UK, so there have been many opportunities for Scale. The RCA NW team established a relationship with the Head of Policy and Head of Engagement at the Highest CEO informed level. This relationship is informing their 5-10 year strategy about how they can involve and include people within their natural world. Currently the RCA team have developed strategic and research led narratives (based on findings from the NW project) to inform new opportunities. This relationship is being galvanised by the up and coming participation within the #30dayswild engagement programme that runs annually (by the WT) on social media platforms reaching audiences of up to 500,000. The RCA team are providing; technological support, engagement strategies, funded kits for rangers to create promotional material and film making expertise.
Collaborator Contribution	The WT have already provided 1 roundtable with 13 CEO's from across the UK, presenting the NW project and establishing more local / regional relationships. The WT are currently offering support in-kind for #30dayswild reaching their discursive and national audience in the month of June 2021. The ongoing relationship with the head of policy & Engagement seeks to create further fundable opportunities within "technological / Nature", promoting best practice of how we can align these relationships. On an operational level, the WT have supported through; social media, staff time, copy editing, copy and expert review, sample families from their network and more importantly alliances with wildlife rangers working in the field. Excerpt from Wildlife Trusts Head of Policy Letter 2020 The Wildlife Trusts are developing a brand-new strategy under a new CEO, to launch in 2021. A strategic move towards listening and learning from communities forms the direction we intend to take. We want to step away from 'looking down' at specific details, to 'looking up' to embrace the many ways people want to or have the potential to interact with nature. This involves ground up, design led approaches with communities across our 46 charities that make up The Wildlife Trusts, and the work started through the project, My NatureWatch demonstrates the potential to roll out great, tech-based interactions that are user-centric and will help inform us how to achieve just that. The experience that can be shared between our organisations, to apply this design led approach to nature-interactions is exciting and now in the early stages of exploration. I genuinely adore the energy the project brings to creating a fresh thought process to helping people care about wildlife and wilder spaces. The expansion upon thinking and learning from My NatureWatch has so much potential to be a component of The Wildlife Trusts way to call for a Wilder Future. We want to work with the RCA to design how best to enable people to self-organise, engage and champion wildlife as part of community campaigns and organizing, reaching wider into society than ever before as we fight to reverse the climate and nature crisis. MyNatureWatch is playing a central role in helping us develop the 2021-2031 strategy for a Wilder Future". We are using the My Naturewatch project as an impactful case study that we are building off to build our future strategy, without the MyNaturewatch project we would not be thinking like this and or encouraging the use of technological approaches within our means. Whilst this project has started by building an opportunity within #30dayswild (our leading engagement programme) it is enabling us to transform and inform our thinking from a public led opportunity.
Impact	The relationship is Multi-disciplinary uniting; nature expertise, technologies, conservationists, teachers, engagement officers and designers.

Results and Impact	A cross sector panel discussion, uniting grass roots, cultural institutions and design practices. Connecting with nature; To celebrate Earth Day, join an expert panel to explore how we can care for our local environments and form better connections with nature. For many of us, more time spent at or close to home has fostered a newfound appreciation for our local natural environments. From noticing the patterns of birdsong in a local park, to realising the importance of green space for relieving stress, we've really come to appreciate time spent in nature as a way of looking after ourselves and our communities. But how can we look after our natural environments in return? Join us for this live talk where we'll be exploring what it means to be an ecological citizen - looking at how we can increase access to and equity within natural environments, design for better connections with nature, and inspire small actions that are good for ourselves and our local environments. Our expert panel will be answering your live questions during this event. If you'd like to submit a question in advance you can do so in the Eventbrite sign up form. Speakers: Dr Robert Phillips, product designer and leader of the citizen Naturewatch* project at the Royal College of Art Harriet Fink, Learning and volunteering Programme Manager for the Urban Nature Project* at the Natural History Museum Tayshan Hayden-Smith, Founder of Grow2Know* * The Citizen Naturewatch is a collaboration between the Interaction Research Studio, Goldsmiths and the RCA Design Products programme.

They took their built camera home with them for a week and positioned in their gardens. Unfortunately they did not manage to capture much, I think if they'd had the kit longer and tried a few different areas in their gardens they would have been more successful. They had fun assembling them and using them and would like to try again with them in the future.

We wanted to connect families to nature using the technology and create a wild community. We have had two memberships because of the project and every single person who took part said how enjoyable it had been and how much more connected they had felt. The families found that they didn't necessary get the wildlife they expected and some nothing at all but this made them think about how to encourage wildlife into their garden. Some felt they needed longer with the camera to really find the best position and also to work out the depth of vision correctly.

There was also some evidence of behaviour change with participants asking great follow up questions related to feeding urban wildlife only appropriate amounts and types of food. Participants were thrilled that in the space of only an hour they were able to build and operate a camera trap. Many people saw themselves as not very tech savvy and were surprised at how accessible these cameras were.

Results and Impact	Nova New Opportunities; Nova helps people from diverse backgrounds move forward with their skills, confidence and employability such as: Those who have missed out on educational opportunities, Women returning to work, Long-term unemployed, Minority ethnic groups, migrant and refugee communities" (Nova, 2021). Nova acts like a metaphorical stepping stone "supporting over 1400 disadvantaged local residents to move into education, building skills in Maths, English and ICT and open doors through volunteering and participation at a time of tough economic conditions" (Nova, 2021). The organisation offers; education, employment advice, a family programme and help to deliver social change. The intention was gauging the potential of engagement in purely urban settings, with diverse groups. The workshop(s) were facilitated through Zoom (online platform), under full safeguarding of the host, who were continually present. Participants ranged from 6 - 60 mainly composing of families that have gone through re-location. The design team provided; support, workshops and resources. The important step was that safeguarding handled by the host organisation, they helped keep the work fully GDPR compliant. Alongside assembly workshops (hosted by designers), ambassadors from the Wildlife Trusts hosted a 'welcome to your window box', hour long briefing describing; species, seasonality, good practice for feeding and encouraging wildlife to urban areas. The NW team provided; full kits, power packs, smart devices / tablets (if required) and Field Studies Guides to (garden birds). The works duration was one month over four weekly sessions. The design considerations ensured that; everything was provided, we had to cater for non-garden, non-public space and all participants should be able to work without any other tools or resources required. We carefully considered (externally supervised) group shares online, sharing best practice and experiences. The sessions followed families over 4 sessions to make, build, deploy and reflect on their camera building experiences. This resulted in a film publication that was broadcast on #30dayswild, with the Wildlife Trusts.
