About Creature Seekers

The Creature Seekers trail and web app was made by me, Emily Coyte, as part of the Avon Wildlife Trust's Wildlife Champions scheme. This volunteer scheme offers support and training in exchange for a project relating to wildlife engagement within a postcode area. This is one of those projects for BS6!

About Me

I've been passionate about wildlife for many years, and have a background in digital education and engagement. I made Creature Seekers as a way of combining my love on learning about insects (especially the lesser-known ones!) with online learning with a touch of gamification! I've learned so much from this process and am very excited to share it!

Thanks and acknowledgements

The project was developed with support and collaboration of the Friends of St Andrews Park, with additional support from the Community Events fund from the Festival of Nature.

The vector artwork of the insects was inspired by the wonderful Buzz and Scuttle, from Marian Hill. These works were used (with permission) as primary reference material for many of the insects, used alongside various reference photographs to develop the final images.

Many thanks to these groups, and to everyone who provided inspiration, insight, discussions and feedback along the way!
