About
Join us for 24 hours of wildlife recording at Mann Wood and engage with nature hands-on, like you have never experienced it before!Discover the hidden world of the native flora and fauna of our local patch with an incredible array of species experts. Bring the whole family and spend the day exploring the woods, learning about the amazing plants and animals that live right on our doorstep.
Saturday 2nd May – from 10:00
The BioBlitz begins with a range of guided walks and hands-on activities led by species experts. Together we’ll explore mammals, fungi, plants, butterflies and pond life as we uncover the incredible diversity of Mann Wood. As evening falls, we’ll turn our attention to the woodland after dark, discovering the fascinating night-time world of bats and moths.
Sunday 3rd May – early morning session
Join us bright and early to experience the woodland waking up. We’ll be focussing on birds and small mammals, with opportunities to see bird ringing and small mammal trapping as part of the survey work.
You can sign up for either or both days, join as many activities as you like, or simply wander the woods and see what wildlife you can discover for yourself.
This is a unique opportunity to bring so many experts together and, for one weekend only, show you wildlife close-up.
Stay tuned for a detailed schedule of the activities. We look forward to seeing you there!
