We have a broad range of participation opportunities - you can get involved in your garden, urban greenspace, at wetland sites or while out exploring Wales' wilder places.
By taking part in BTO schemes and surveys you can use your ornithological skills helping us to understand how the bird populations of Wales are changing and why.
