Join our Cornwall team for a day exploring and recording our dune wildlife at The Towans in celebration of World Sand Dune Day! 

To celebrate World Sand Dune Day we’ll be holding a 24 hour BioBlitz!

Bioblitzes are a great way for us to find and identify as many different plants, animal and fungi species as possible. The information gathered which will then be used to help us better understand the wildlife living in the area, and the best ways to protect them.
