When this project began in 2004 there were less garden wildlife and ecology websites. Most surveying was still done on paper. In the last few years there has been a proliferation of webbased surveying systems. We have included links to some of the more notable sites below. Our hope is not to compete with other organisations but to cooperate with data sharing and bridging between organisations which a role to play in protecting and enhancing biodiverity through the built environment.
