Project Description

The climate crisis is having a profound impact on nature. It's urgent that we understand how wildlife is coping with shifting seasons, warmer temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns.

Climate change has already accelerated spring's arrival by an average of 8.4 days compared to the early 1900s. Now, we need you to help us find out whether the signs of spring are changing too.

Let the Woodland Trust know whether you've spotted any of spring's three vital signs – frogspawn, a singing song thrush or flowering blackthorn. Your records are crucial in helping us understand current threats and how climate change is affecting the health of nature.
