Choosing our name
Just a quick update to show how we chose
our project name. We have also been busy
running a workshop today with some of our volunteer friends, helping us to
refine the website plan and what information our model will collect. More on the
workshop in a future post, but it was great to see so many people engaged and
the feedback was incredibly useful.
We generated several different names for
our project, being somewhat cautious to avoid already existing websites or
project names. These ranged from the
adventurous (“Go Nature”) to the descriptive (“Volunteer with Nature”). Sending this out to survey, in a short amount
of time we have gotten responses from 132 people, including conservation
organisation staff, students and student volunteers, other volunteers and
university staff. Our conclusion from this
is to go with “Nature Volunteers” as our project website name, as this was the
overall leader with about 30% of the responses (volunteer with nature was
second with about 20%, and is relatively similar). You can see the breakdown in voting
percentage here:
The overall numbers of votes (below)
suggest that we might need to recruit a little more from volunteers, despite
our workshop today.
Our next steps are
to design a logo, which we are already in the early stages of, and design the
website themes. We’ll be engaging a bit
more with our partners from today on that, but feel free to contact me if you
would like to take part. As previously mentioned, there will be a survey on the logo soon - so another opportunity to get involved.
