City Nature Challenge - Eastbrookend Bio-Blitz & Nature Day

Join the ! Everyone is welcome, booking not necessary.

This exciting global nature competition sees cities around the world competing to find and record as much wildlife as possible over one long weekend in Spring.

We will be leading a Bio-Blitz across Eastbrookend Country Park and The Chase Local Nature Reserve using the iNaturalist App to save our findings - so bring your charged mobile phone!

Start by learning how the app works via our info session, then either join one of our guided walks or feel free to explore the parks at your own pace, looking for all kinds of plants, animals, birds, fungi, insects, reptiles etc along the way. Everything counts!

• See what lovely creatures the Park Rangers have caught overnight in the Moth Trap
• Our regular Nature Volunteers will be able to get you going with your bug-hunting skills near the Discovery Centre
• Try some pond-dipping to see what lives beneath the lake water
• Learn about bumblebees and go on a Bee Walk with the Park Rangers
• Join a guided walk to the new Rom Wetlands in The Chase Local Nature Reserve to see how the rewilding is shaping up, and look for wildlife along the way, there and back!

Please take care when exploring, as the ground may be uneven in places. Wear sensible footwear and dress appropriately for the weather.
