BioBlitz Wildlife Survey Highlights Biodiversity at Corpus Christi College Oxford
Corpus Christi College recently brought together members of its community for a focused environmental survey in the historic grounds. Led by the Sustainability and Gardens Team, the college hosted a BioBlitz event in the Fellows’ Garden, offering participants a hands-on way to engage with the surrounding ecosystem.
Exploring Wildlife and Green Spaces in the Oxford College Grounds
The initiative involved an intensive biological survey designed to record the diverse living species inhabiting a specific area within a designated timeframe. Utilizing the college's official iNaturalist account, attendees spent an hour walking through the gardens to identify and log various plants, insects, fungi, and local wildlife.
Head Gardener Norbert Nyegre noted the positive turnout and the value of the collaborative effort. The gathering not only allowed participants to spend time outdoors during favorable weather, but it also directly supported the institution's broader environmental goals. Members of the college community participated flexibly, dropping in for a brief observation or staying for the full duration of the session.
