More than just a fun day out!
By getting involved, you’ll be directly contributing to:
- Collecting valuable nature data: This data is key to unlocking the secrets of our local wildlife and plant life. With this information, we can create even more amazing nature spots in the future!
- Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’)-powered species identification: Pollenize uses cloud-based technology and AI, alongside expert input, to identify the maximum number of species possible.
- ‘Floradex’ biodiversity tracking: Information gathered is then fed into a powerful data tool developed by Pollenize and the University of Plymouth, Floradex. This AI-powered platform analyses land data and suggests the best plants to put in a space to make it the best it can be for wildlife.
Bioblitzes are not only great for mental and physical well-being, but also provide crucial support for Pollenize’s mission to restore biodiversity.
