Event details
The first city Bioblitz - an event for all the community - will take place this June.
Come and join the race to find as much wildlife as we can! A BioBlitz is a large scale event that engages people with biodiversity, inviting them to get directly involved in surveying and monitoring their local wildlife and green spaces. During a BioBlitz event scientists and members of the public work together to survey a natural space; looking for, identifying and recording as many species.
What’s happening?
At the first ever Southampton BioBlitz you can get involved in a range of activities, starting with a bat walk on the Friday evening, there will be guided walks to explore the variety of birds, insects, butterflies and much more on the university campus and the adjacent common. There will be stores from local groups and businesses, making this a fun day for all the family.
Who is involved?
The BioBlitz is being run by Southampton City Council, University of Southampton, University of Southampton Students’ Union and Southampton Natural History Society.
