The Royal Holloway Mini-BioBlitz will be taking place from 1pm – 4pm on 20 October 2010 on campus at the pond and woodland area. To view go to http://www.rhul.ac.uk/aboutus/ourcampus/home.aspx and click on the camera at the bottom which says woodland walks to explore the area through a virtual tour.
We have one school confirmed as attending with their year 6 group of 77 children and staff members on top.
Our Bio Science Department have kindly lent us equipment such as nets, jars, trays and baskets for collecting species to identify, and also with large magnifiers, and microscopes to assist with this task. There will be ID cards to match against, with some specialist help form staff and students in this field.
Royal Holloway students wishing to volunteer should email volunteering@rhul.ac.uk and put ‘BioBlitz’ in the email title. All the equipment needed will be provided and they will get a t-shirt, drink and snack for helping out. They will need to meet at Jane Holloway Hall for 1pm.
