Encounter Nature

Encounter Nature is a guided nature journal for your phone. Create beautiful diary entries with images, your location and the weather, and tag what you see to monitor how the natural world is faring over time.

Tailored tips and prompts help you know what to look and listen for—frogspawn, swifts, butterflies and hedgerow fruit—while invitations to contribute to citizen science and conservation projects connect you with wildlife near you. The app is designed for Great Britain and Ireland, and your data enriches over time as you tag more species.
