Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Reserve

Sunday 27 April, 2025 @ 2:00 pm 4:00 pm

Free

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!  

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.
