Pwllheli Bioblitz
A Bioblitz is a race against time to record the variety of wildlife found in a specific location. Join us on Sunday July 7th at Lon Cob Bach car park in Pwllheli to help us record as many wildlife sightings as possible.
​
Between 10am and 3pm there will be an opportunity to call in at the Bioblitz basecamp at Pwllheli to learn more about the species we’re hoping to find during the day and take part in wildlife themed craft activities.
A full timetable of activities have been planned with an array of wildlife experts ensuring we’ve explored as many of the different habitats found in the area as possible.
All activities are free.
