Gainsborough Greens BioBlitz

We are very excited to announce the Gainsborough Greens Mini BioBlitz! This is an opportunity for residents to attend a BioBlitz in November and if you like it come to some of our others.

If you have an interest in nature and all the fascinating plants and creatures, this is the event for you. Spend the day exploring the conservation areas that surround your neighbourhood with family and/or friends as there will be something to do for everyone!

Book in and enjoy a morning, afternoon or evening of flora and fauna research with expert survey leaders.
