Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Reserve in Lincoln

Lincoln Envirotown Coordinator from Lincoln Envirotown

Event description

🦋 Join our exciting search for various species in the Mahoe Native Reserve in Lincoln. You'll be on the hunt for anything that flies, grows, crawls and hides!

Taking place on Sunday 27 April, 2 pm - 4 pm at Mahoe Native Reserve, 34 Boundary Road, Lincoln.

As part of the City Nature Challenge Ōtautahi, we are running another Mini BioBlitz. We welcome nature enthusiasts of all ages to this free event at which you will identify species found in the reserve and upload your observations to iNaturalist.NZ. The challenge takes place globally as people all over the world look to see the diversity of life in our local areas. We encourage you to download the iNaturalist app onto your mobile device and then you can use it to upload photos of organisms at the event.

We are very grateful to the people who have already volunteered to help you with identifying species and using the iNaturalist app to report all our findings. There will also be people showing us how we can examine the health of our water and our soil, two very important issues for our natural environment.

This free event was very successful last year, and we look forward to another enjoyable afternoon. Booking is not required just come along and join the fun.

Our Sponsors

A big thank you to our wonderful sponsors! We extend our sincere appreciation to all our sponsors, Rata Foundation, Selwyn District Council, COGS, Lottery Community, Lincoln University, Creative Communities Scheme, Lincoln Community Trust, Lincoln Community Committee.
