Mawnan BioBlitz

Mawnan Parish Council is delighted to announce that Mawnan BioBlitz will take place on Saturday 29 August, from 10am to 4pm, at Mawnan Park and Mawnan Bowling Club.

Join Budding Nature and local volunteers to find and record as many plants, insects, birds and other wildlife as possible during this fun community nature survey.

The event is free to attend and everyone is welcome. No experience is needed and there is no need to book.

Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in the park. Light refreshments will be available from Mawnan Bowling Club throughout the day.

Limited Blue Badge parking will be available at Mawnan Bowling Club, Carwinion Road, Mawnan Smith TR11 5JD. For those parking elsewhere in the village, we kindly ask that you park safely and considerately, with respect for local residents.

More details will be added soon.

Mawnan BioBlitz is organised by Mawnan Parish Council and made possible through funding from Cornwall Council’s Community Chest, the Cornwall Climate and Nature Fund, and Crowdfunder supporters.

Our vision for Mawnan BioBlitz

Our ambition is for Mawnan BioBlitz to become an annual event that brings the community together to celebrate and learn about local wildlife. The records collected this year will provide a snapshot of the species currently living in and around Mawnan Park, creating a baseline against which future surveys can be compared.

As we continue to improve and expand habitats across the site, we hope future BioBlitz events will show an increase in both the number and diversity of species, helping us measure the positive impact of our efforts for nature.
