On the 8th of June University staff, students and members of the public descended on Poole Park to host a BioBlitz – an intense, yet most importantly fun, period of biological surveying which attempts to record all of the living species within a designated area in 24 hours.
The event was a huge success with over 230 different species recorded on land, air and water across Poole, Baiter and Whitecliff Parks – so this is a big thank you to all of you who came down and took part and made the event a success.
The records have been collated and are being sent directly to key regional stakeholders. They are also available for download here and you can also find them and much more over on the Poole & Purbeck Portal.
