Bee, Wasp & Hoverfly Survey in the Heart of England Forest - BioBlitz 2024

Join Aaron Bhambra, PhD student at the University of Birmingham researching heathland pollinators in the Midlands, to find out more about bees, wasps, and other pollinators.

Learn how to identify different bumblebees, the difference between social and solitary wasps, some common hoverflies and why these species are important to our environment. Gorcott Hill has a range of environments, so should be a site which provides many species.

This survey is part of the fourth annual Heart of England Forest Bioblitz where we will be creating a snapshot of the variety of species found in a specific area of the Forest during a 24 hour period. No previous BioBlitz experience or species knowledge is required to get involved.

Registration for this event is free however we would appreciate it if you would be willing to make a donation to help us to grow the forest and work on creating and maintaining a mosaic of wildlife habitats. This wildlife surveying event is not suitable for dogs to attend.
