Summary
Join us for a practitioner-focused webinar exploring how organisations can take part in A Great Big Wildlife Exploration - a national BioBlitz taking place 21–22 May to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity.
Description
This initiative invites universities, ecological consultancies, conservation organisations and other environmental employers to host a 24-hour wildlife survey with local schools, combining biodiversity recording with meaningful outreach to young people interested in nature-based careers.
In this session, MKO will share their experience of delivering BioBlitz events since 2023, offering practical insights into planning, logistics, partnerships with schools, and how to create an engaging and scientifically valuable event. We’ll also discuss the benefits for organisations - from generating biodiversity data and supporting community engagement to inspiring the next generation of ecologists.
Whether you’re considering hosting your first BioBlitz or looking to expand your outreach activities, this session will help you understand what’s involved and how your organisation can get involved with confidence.
