Friday 26th May

Forty Hall Park, Forty Hill, Enfield, EN2 9HA

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 Forty Hall Park BioBlitz you can explore the amazing landscape and parkland as we celebrate the wonderful wildlife that lives on the estate.

Drop in and see us on the day between 1pm – 7pm on Friday 26th May to catch up on what has been recorded so far and for some amazing activities including:

Our BioBlitz Bingo, Earthworm watch and aquatic critter surveys. We will also have competitions including Best Wildlife Photographer for photographs taken throughout the day, and best Wildlife Drawing for any budding artists who would like to grab a pencil and paper and get drawing. There will also be free goody bags for children who get involved.
