Unlocking Nature with Data - Greentalk and London Data Week

Participants in London Data Week took part in a trial event in Islington to understand the impact of their actions.

9th July 2025 - Greentalk helped organise and run Unlocking Nature with Data - Designing Citizen Science Tools For Impact as part of the London Data Week 2025.

Working alongside Outlandish, Tranquil City, Pollenize, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Innovation District we explored the question:

How can we combine policy, citizen science and ecological data to drive real-world change?

We explored how data, community participation and digital tools can help deliver on policy and encourage public action.

With more than 30 participants, Greentalk demonstrated how members of the local community could support and help monitor greenspace interventions such as rain gardens (Sustainable Drainage Systems, or SuDS) and tree planting.
