About

We're taking part in the City Nature Challenge – Greater Belfast, competing with 400+ cities across the world to see who can observe and identify the most species!

Explore the Ulster Folk Museum's rich biodiversity with expert guides from our Natural Science team. Lean how to find and record interesting species found around the museum, from mighty oak to minute moss! You'll then have the chance to explore on your own and see how many species you can find while contributing to this exciting citizen science project.

Tickets provide access to the Ulster Folk Museum for the day so please feel free to arrive earlier or stay after the event.
This event is suitable for all people interested in recording nature for the first time to specialists and seasoned naturalists. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
