Come discover the fauna and flora with Bioblitz in Serralves

The Serralves Foundation invites the community to take part in an express biological inventorying of the fauna and flora of the Serralves Park, on April 21 and 22.

The 5th edition of Bioblitz is supported by Lipor and Porto City Hall and the fundamental goal of this initiative is the active public involvement in environmental protection and biodiversity preservation, through a "strong effort to congregate as many people possible - experts from several areas, volunteers, families, students, teachers, and other members of the community", the organisation states.

Plant and animal species such as oak trees and hawthorns, blackbirds, jays and Eurasian wrens, midwives toads, spotted salamanders, mosses and lichens await for discovery and cataloguing.

There will be educational and scientific workshops, field trips with CIBIO-InBIO researchers, and the show "Água" [Water], which is the responsibility of Circolando - Cultural Cooperative.

Participation is free, upon prior registration, subject to room capacity.
