The Buzz Club
Real gardens - Real science
Gardening is a popular pastime, but not one that we do alone. Whether hidden beneath the soil, buzzing in the borders or singing on the fence, thousands of wild animals share our spaces. They provide vital support to our own horticultural successes - yet we know very little about most of them!
The Buzz Club intends to change that. We are a citizen science club, run by scientists at the University of Sussex. Citizen Science is a way of conducting research in collaboration with the general public. The Buzz Club creates experiments that help us understand the wildlife we share our gardens with, and what we can do to conserve it. Volunteers all over the UK help us to answer these important questions.
Become a Member or Sponsor
The Buzz Club runs on donations and sponsorships alone!
To make this community and these experiments as accessible as possible, our projects are designed to be free to join and undertake. This means we rely on donations from our supporters for staff pay, equipment, website expenses and everything else. So if you are enjoying what the Buzz Club does - donate or sponsor us today!
