A festival of science in nature – an effort by the community, working with scientists and naturalists, to discover and record as many living things as possible within each site for the set period. We’ll obtain new information for each site, share the joy of science and discover our local biodiversity.
On Friday, many activities for schools will be available. This is one of two BioBlitzes marking the ‘Extinction Matters’ theme for Threatened Species Day 2016.
