Mahoe Mini Bioblitz

You'll be on the hunt for anything that flies, grows, crawls and hides!

Experts from Canterbury Museum will be joining us for the challenge, which takes place globally as people from all over the world look to see the diversity of life in our local areas.

We need your help to find and record all the amazing plants and creatures that call Mahoe home! From tiny bugs to towering trees.

What to Expect:

Get a close-up look at the creatures you find with our digital microscope connected to a monitor!

Our expert volunteers will be equipped with butterfly nets, beating sheets, and soil sieves to help collect and identify species from every corner of the reserve.
