Dear All, RSPB Broadwater Warren is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year, as part of a programme of events I am hoping to carry out a Bioblitz to celebrate and record what species can be found on the reserve.
I am looking for any naturalists to help survey and record what species are calling Broadwater Warren home. The event will be held on the 10th of June 2017 from 9am. I am hoping that we can record as much as possible and especially in some of the under recorded taxonomic groups. If you are not aware of Broadwater Warren, which is situated just south of Tunbridge Wells in East Sussex, it is a 185ha heathland restoration site which has been converted from a dark conifer plantation to an open lowland heathland landscape. It has a mix of habitats including bog mire, wet woodland, heathland, coppice/deciduous woodland, ponds, streams and a small sandstone quarry. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone with specific taxonomic knowledge/expertise would like to come and help record species on the reserve. If you are interested in helping out or know of anyone who would be let me know and feel free to forward them this email. Please could let me know if you would like to help out and I will send out more information on where to go on the day. Although the bioblitz is happening on the 10th, if you aren’t able to attend you are welcome to come down to the site throughout the year to help record/survey species, (just let me know when you do and let me know what you find). Any records would be greatly appreciated. Any questions feel free to email me. Thank you in advance.
