Londoners benefit from our work directly via our services, and indirectly because our activities facilitate well-grounded, evidence-based decisions on our natural environment.
We produce a monthly newsletter that showcases projects we feel will be of interest and signpost people to other news and interesting articles about the natural environment via social media including Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. We also share information about publicly accessible open spaces via our online mapping.
We can provide a range of information and answer services to members of the public at no cost, part of our commitment to give back to the communities we were set up to serve as a social enterprise. Members of the public engaged with a local planning decision can obtain relevant information from us in the form of a data search report for their area of interest and find out more information about the importance of data search reports in the planning process via the new Data Search Report factsheet .
We can also share more bespoke reports, maps and services to suit individual groups and their needs. Where additional support is required that falls outside of our remit we can help signpost people to relevant experts operating in London. Contact us for more information.
We actively encourage Londoners to tell us about the wildlife they have seen in the city via our online form and collaborate with our partners who run campaigns to learn more about particular species, habitats and open spaces.
We love having the opportunity to explain our work and the importance of environmental records to local residents and groups and have developed a ‘How GiGL Can Help’and ‘Useful Links’ factsheets. We have also added some training videos to the GiGL You Tube channel. Get in touch if there is something you think we may be able to help with.
We are keen to attend events for the community and also run our own London Day of Nature aimed at everyone in the capital who is interested in nature.
