19th and 20th August 2016

Bedgebury National Pinetum, Park Lane, Goudhurst, Kent. TN17 2SL

Become a wildlife explorer for a day and discover what’s living right on your doorstep by joining in at your local BioBlitz event. Our team of experienced naturalists and wildlife watchers need your help to find and identify as many different species of birds, bugs, plants and beasties as we can before the clock runs out. Just like a real scientific expedition, everything we find will be documented and passed on to local and national databases that monitor our local wildlife. With interactive activities for kids, grown-ups, beginners and experts alike there is something for everyone at a BioBlitz.

What’s happening

At the Bedgebury Bioblitz you can explore the amazing National Pinetum and all of its wildlife as we hold our second Bioblitz event.
