| Monty says go!! |
Coming soon:
Bioblitz adventure at Speke Garston Coastal Reserve
WE all
know what a terrific site this is, now's our chance to prove it, let's record
everything that lives/migrates there, let's make sure everyone knows why
this place is special and has to be preserved for future generations.
Kicking off Friday 13th May then running all day Saturday everyone from budding scientists
to curious bods can take part in an event designed to show people the vast
array of intriguing wildlife that exists right on their doorstep.
The
activities will include mammal and moth trapping, bat, insect, bug, butterfly,
plant and bird surveying.
Get
involved! The event starts Friday midday
The event
is being co-ordinated and run in association with Lancashire Wildlife Trust,
Liverpool JMU, L Botanical Society, Liverpool World Museum and Merseyside
Biobank.
So if you
think you would like to volunteer and do the surveys? or just want to
observe?
Head to
the estuary.
Just turn
up and take part in whatever you like. But stay on the paths, wouldn't want any critters
trampled underfoot!
There will be a base station for volunteers and staff at the sailing club,
toilets, food and drinks provided.
Parking at the sailing club for volunteers.
