Share your results

We want governments and businesses to understand the issues our communities are facing, and the massive impact volunteers are having across the country.

The best way of demonstrating this is with data – showing exactly how many people are getting involved, how many hours are being dedicated to looking after the environment, the range of activities taking place, and what’s being found on our streets, beaches and in our parks.

That’s why we need everyone to share what they’ve been doing via eCount Cymru.

Help us build a Wales-wide picture of environmental volunteering!
