KNOWSLEY Safari Park is inviting the public to take part in a special biodiversity campaign to count the number of spiders, butterflies, moths and bees they see.
‘SOS (Spotted on Site) BioBlitz’ campaign will see Safari visitors are taking part in a range of specially designed interactive monitoring activities, including BioBlitz Family Bingo, building Bug Hotels and creating Bird and Butterfly Feeders, which guests can take home and use in their own outdoor areas.
Participants upload their wildlife findings to the iNaturalistUK nature recording app, available on App Store and Google Play, where results are collated to provide an overview of the UK’s rich biodiversity.
Rachel Scott, Head of Marketing, Knowsley Safari, said: “We’re so excited to be contributing to the SOS BioBlitz. In addition to everything the Safari offers, our team and visitors will be playing their part in creating a snapshot of the UK’s native ecosystem. We hope to see many members of our local community and further afield taking part.”
SOS BioBlitz activities are free of charge for regular ticket holders during the Early May Bank Holiday weekend and there’s 25 per cent off admission prices from Thursday, April 27 until Tuesday, May 2 for online bookings, making a wild day out over the Bank Holiday - and during teacher strikes - even more tempting.
