Calling all nature detectives, big and small!
Get ready for a wild day of exploring, discovering, and uncovering the hidden wonders of The Saltings Nature Reserve in our exciting BioBlitz.
A BioBlitz is like a real-life nature treasure hunt and you are the scientist! Your mission? Help us find and identify as many species of wildlife as possible, from buzzing bees to curious fungi, fluttering birds to hidden wildflowers, all in just a few hours!
This is a fun and hands-on event and it’s a great way to get kids outdoors and curious about the natural world. Whether you're a budding young explorer, a curious teen, or a grown-up nature nerd, there's something for everyone. You don’t need to be an expert; we’ll guide you every step of the way.
What to expect:
- Work alongside friendly nature experts
- Use tools like magnifying glasses, field guides, and apps
- Discover amazing wildlife hiding in plain sight
- Snap photos, share your finds, and contribute to a real scientific survey
What to bring:
- A smartphone with the free iNaturalist app (if you have one)
- Outdoor clothes and sturdy shoes; it might get muddy!
- A packed lunch to keep your energy up (we’ve got the tea & biscuits covered)
Do I need to stay all day?
We’d love to have you for the whole adventure, but if you need to leave early, that’s totally fine. Just make sure you’re there at the start so you don’t miss the intro and instructions.
