Mini Bioblitz, Sandy Point, Otatara

A BioBlitz is a scientific treasure hunt and race against time. The goal is to count as many species (insects, plants, lichens, birds etc) as possible during the event. We’ll have experts on hand to help you identify your finds and guide you around the area.

When: 14th October 2017: 10am to 4.30pm.

Where: Meet at Daffodil Bay, Sandy Point, Otatara

What you need: Bring your own drink bottle and appropriate clothing.

You can record your finds on the iNaturalist app, so download it from the app store before the event.
