With the Isle of Wight AONB and County Council we are hosting an exciting BioBlitz to record wildlife around Newtown National Nature Reserve to celebrate its 21st birthday as a National Nature Reserve.

Wildlife experts will work closely with amateurs and volunteers in a race against time to discover and record as many animals and plants as possible. All discoveries will be recorded and then submitted to the local wildlife record centre to help understand how wildlife is changing and how best to protect it.

You’re invited to join in with the fun by taking part in the free activities available on the day and seeing some of the discoveries that people have made. Meet at the Newtown Nature Reserve Visitor Point PO30 4PA (SZ 423 906).
