How to take part in the University of Kent's upcoming BioBlitz

BioBlitz is an interactive, participatory, one-day event bringing together families, school groups, and local community members to engage in nature-based learning with University of Kent students, scientists, and local wildlife experts (e.g. Kent Wildlife Trust; Butterfly Conservation; Kent Moth Group). Hosted by the School of Anthropology and Conservation’s Sustainability Working Group and the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), the aim of the event is to record as many species of wildlife as possible on campus.

But BioBlitz is more than just a scientific survey; it's a celebration of life in all its forms. As we race against the clock to uncover and document as many species as possible within the University of Kent campus, we'll be uncovering the secrets of our natural world and gaining invaluable insights into the intricate web of life.

Whether you're a seasoned nature enthusiast or simply curious about the wonders of the outdoors, there's something for everyone at BioBlitz 2024. From thrilling nature detective trails to enchanting pond dipping adventures, and engaging species surveys, there's no shortage of excitement and learning opportunities.

Join us at the Colyer-Fergusson Hall, where you can connect with like-minded individuals, explore interactive stalls hosted by our esteemed partnership organisations, and deepen your understanding of conservation efforts.
