We’re inviting community organisations - such as wildlife trusts, community gardens and farms, local green charities, neighbourhood environment groups and eco‑education CICs - to co‑create research projects with our MSci students in Biology, Zoology and Plant Sciences.
Entry to the University of Bristol’s Botanic Garden will be donation only on weekdays throughout 2026 – with no fixed entry price.
Efforts to stop declines in vertebrate wildlife populations should aim to address multiple threats simultaneously, rather than focusing on pressures one by one, a new study led by the University of Bristol has found.

A long-standing mystery about how wild bats navigate complex environments in complete darkness with remarkable precision, has been solved in a new University of Bristol-led study. The findings are published today [21 January] in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
