The purpose is to find out more about Haslemere's biodiversity. We hope to find plenty of interesting and rare species, and see how flora and fauna are changing in our area.

Get involved

There are two ways that we want people to get involved:

Send in your observations

Please let us know of any wild species that you find during the seven days of the event, and within about 2 miles or 3 km of Haslemere railway station.

In the case of unusual species, we will probably need a photograph (not necessarily a good one!) to verify identity. Please give date and location. If you have lots, emailing a spreadsheet would be ideal!

Post what you find on the Haslemere Bioblitz Facebook site.
(Posts will be "pending" until checked. Not open for posting until 4th July. Will stay open for posting until 13th July.)

Or send by email to bioblitz@haslemeremuseum.co.uk

Bats and Moths
Wednesday 8 July, 8.45-11pm
With the help of bat detectors, we will share the excitement of locating and identifying the species that are on the wing near the town. The walk will end at a moth trap, where we expect that a UV light will attract a wide range of sizes, shapes and colours of the many hundreds of moth species that occur locally. Non-Members of the Natural History Society need to reserve places in advance - numbers are limited.
