Blitz will survey species in Bouddi National Park

The Central Coast Bioblitz will take place on September 6 and 7 in Bouddi National Park to celebrate biodiversity and mark Threatened Species Day on September 7.

Schools can get involved on the Friday and the general community on the Saturday.

The BioBlitz will be a snapshot over a limited-time of the species that live in a specific area.

It will provide opportunities for people get involved in the natural environment with an aim to increase their awareness of and understanding for the environment.

This event will bring together scientists, naturalists, citizen scientists, students and volunteers working collaboratively to discover, identify and record the diversity of living things.

There will be opportunities for the community to engage in field survey activities and, through monitoring and recording entries into the Atlas of NSW Wildlife, contribute to the knowledge of the Bouddi Peninsula.

The event is being coordinated by the Community Environment Network and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
