The last day of #NationalHedgerowsWeek & we've saved the best news till last!
Our @TheHedgeHunters decided to make a series of children’s story books to illustrate the animals & creatures that rely on Hedgerows, what are the problems they face and what we can do about it (1/4)

[Energy and Environment Institute @EEIatHull]

We have worked with young people since the start to co-create & inform the academic team re best practice. Involvement evolved over time, allowing knowledge to grow & relationships to bloom. Parts of @TheHedgeHunters project are now completely youth-led (5/5)

Second, involving communities in environmental citizen science can create social capitol & a common goal towards taking collective action
It can also start to build pro environmental behaviours and relationships when we stop to immersive and engage with nature (2/5)

Engaging communities in #NationalHedgerowWeek
Why do we want to engage communities & young people in @TheHedgeHunters project? A thread on why doing this is best practice:
1st, we need to check our AI model against real data to ensure it's correctly ID'ing hedgerows/gaps (1/5)
