Get Involved

The Buzz Club is a citizen science initiative, meaning we cannot do what we do without your help!

The UK has a fantastic tradition of volunteers being involved in ecology, studying and enjoying the wildlife around them, while collecting important data.

We aim to continue that tradition, so see below for all the ways you can get involved with our work.

Socials

Follow us on social media for live updates on our projects, informative content on the nature you will find in your garden, as well as lots of fun quizzes, videos and beautiful photos of bees!

Join our projects

We have lots of great projects that all ages can get stuck into. Our projects are free to take part in, although you will need to supply simple equipment yourself (such as scissors, bamboo canes, or access to a drill). Anything you will need for the project will be made clear from the beginning and data return will always be free. By taking part in these projects you will be getting involved in real science, as well as supporting, and potentially increasing, the wildlife in your outdoor space.

NEW: Member's Working Group

We are creating a group consisting of active members who want to help steer how the Buzz Club supports and interacts with volunteers.

NEW: Engagement Volunteers

We would love to continue to spread the Buzz Club all over the UK.

So if you have somewhere that you could promote us e.g. a noticeboard, a stall, a presentation, let us know!

We will send you flyers and presentation slides to help you spread the Buzz!

Science with Kids

Our main projects are all suitable to do with kids, although help or supervision may be needed for some parts (usually in the setup). The Buzz Club recognises how important it is to get kids involved in nature at a young age, and we also offer extra resources and opportunities to aid with this:

Experiments for Kids

These experiments are fun activities that you can set up in your outdoor space. They aim to help your child to engage with and learn about nature, as well as helping to solidify the science they already know!

This is currently being worked on, check back soon for experiments.

Environmental Education for Kids

The Buzz Club can offer school visits in Nottingham and Sussex as well as webinars for your school!
