Notice nature, record it, and learn as you go

Hi, I'm Sam, and I've loved the outdoors my whole life. But something was always missing: knowledge and understanding.

I've always spent time outside, but I just passed through, appreciating what I was looking at while wishing I knew more. I wanted to identify the plants, fungi and animals around me, and to understand the kind of place I was in, whether woodland, ancient woodland or a Site of Special Scientific Interest. I believe that knowing more about your surroundings makes you stop and appreciate them more.

That's why I started Wild Unlocked: a relaxed app for noticing and learning about nature, at your own pace. You can learn about a place before you visit, research from home, and record what you find along the way, contributing to citizen science, because all of us can help gather data for science.

Not everyone always gets the chance to be outside, so whether your goal is to be more present outdoors or to learn from home, Wild Unlocked is here for both.

I'd love to bring the joys of nature to more people. There's lots still to do to make this app what I feel is missing, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know!
