Past events

A BioBlitz is a period (usually 24 hours) of recording different plants and animals within a designated area. Across Friday 21 and Saturday 22 March a variety of walks, talks and ecological took place across Peel Park in partnership with Salford City Council Ranger Team. Over 130 students, colleagues and local community members attended a series of events to help identify and record species in our local environment.

• Bird expert and University of Salford lecturer Dr Helen Whitehead led a walk as she talked about the different birds and where they can be found in the local area.
• Amphibian expert and University of Salford lecturer Dr Robert Jehle talked about the different amphibians and where they can be found. We learned about newts, frogs and toads and had the chance to see up close some of the species that can be found in the local area.
• Wildlife expert David Winnard led a Spring wildlife identification walk. David identified a variety of interesting mineral, medicinal, flora, fauna and fungi around the park and university.
• Small mammal expert Tont Parker led a mammal monitoring and identification workshop where we learned how to survey and identify mammals. There was the opportunity to do some live trapping: small mammal traps were put out overnight, then checked early the next morning. The small mammals caught were identified, recorded, and then released back where they were found. We found a number of wood mice and a field vole - the first time one has been recorded in the area!
• Salford Ranger Team led a bat walk in the evening where participants had the chance to use a bat detector to hear the bats. We were lucky enough to identify three different species of bat and even see them flying overhead around the park.
• David Winnard also led a Spring foraging walk which took a look at some of the spring plants that can be found in the local area, discovering their uses and folklore as well as finding out if they were edible or poisonous. 

In this Biodiversity Collage workshop, colleagues and students enhanced their nature literacy. Run by Emma Goodchild, Zoe Pegg from our Environmental Sustainability Team and Teaching Fellow, Jason Fernandes, this fun and collaborative workshop helped participants understand biodiversity, its importance, and actions to protect it.
