Bioblitz 2010 at Rushcliffe Country Park - 18th and 19th July
Following the successful staging of Britain’s first ever BioBlitz back in 2006, the Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group is planning an even bigger wildlife spectacular at Rushcliffe Country Park, Ruddington this summer.
The aim of BioBlitz is to count as many species of plants, animals, fungi and other organisms as possible at one site over a 24 hour period, and like in previous years, local scientists, naturalists and volunteers will be counting everything from bugs to bats. As well as counting species to assess the wildlife value of this popular site, Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group will be organising a series of events and activities designed to help people learn more about wildlife in their local area, and to appreciate the importance of making records of what they see. The activities will be designed to encourage members of the public to be involved in helping to record as many species as possible during the event.
The South Nottinghamshire Bat Group will be involved with this project so please Michael know if you are available to help
