Welcome to the data entry website!
Important: note that you must download and email your answers to submit your data. Please read instructions below carefully.
On this interactive website, you will be able to enter your collected data from each of the Natural Nations suite of four surveys:
• S1 School Grounds and Habitat
• S2 Birds
• S3 Pollinator and Flowering Plants
• S4 Minibeast and leaves
You will instantly see how your results compare to other UK schools and those in participating European countries. The valuable data will be used to inform a research project by Lund University in Sweden.
*Note* If you plan to do more than one of the survey protocols (S1, S2, S3 and S4), please retain all the data and enter it altogether in one session. While the data will be temporarily stored on the webpage, you will need to complete the data entry within 24 hours and click on the ‘Download data’ button (see instructions on the ‘Submit data’ page via left pane navigation) to allow the data to be permanently saved. You can go back and correct values before clicking the download button.
