As Part of the City Nature Challenge
27 April - Rectory Road 10:00 - 12:00
What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is a form of citizen science where there is a concerted effort to document biodiversity within a particular setting. We’ll be documenting biodiversity at Rectory Road Station garden.
The City Nature Challenge is a global challenge to upload observations to iNaturalist to generate a robust snapshot of the living things within a particular city, to then be used in future research.
