BFF Challenge: External Activities

Overview 

With online forums, webinars, and virtual fireside chats, we now have plenty of options to learn about biodiversity from the comfort of our own home! 

BFFers, if you attend any other online events (organised by other groups, outside of the BFF Challenge), we would love to hear about what you’ve learned!
