The BioBlitz concept is all about volunteers, scientists, naturalists, wildlife enthusiasts, school groups, students and members of the public working together to find as many different species as possible within a natural area – all whilst racing against the clock! The combination of wildlife experts and the wider public is fundamental to the BioBlitz concept and it is an effective way to educate the public about the wildlife on their doorstep. This toolkit contains useful ideas for developing your very own “mini BioBlitz” event. Most BioBlitz events last for 24 hours in order to survey all diurnal and nocturnal species. However, on the 24th July 2010, the Bristol Natural History Consortium held their first ever “mini BioBlitz” event in Brandon Hill park for 3 hours. This was a pilot event to see if a “mini” version of the original BioBlitz could be feasible. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide some handy hints and tips to set up your own “mini BioBlitz”. Please use it as a source of ideas that you can add to and adapt.
