UL BioBlitz 2024 took place on Tuesday, 16 April, and with great people came great weather.
Seventeen student citizen scientists from UL and TUD, supported by seven expert local ecologists, recorded 570+ (provisional results) wildlife species on campus. The top recorder prize (86 species) went to UL student James Organ, first-year PE and Geography.
Two guided nature walks, an early morning bird walk and a lunchtime nature walk, allowed the wider campus community to learn more about biodiversity on campus. Everyone who visited UL for the first time and all of us who took part were greatly impressed and proud of our campus.
UL BioBlitz 2024 was the brainchild of History PhD candidate and UL Environmental Society chairperson Rachel Beck and was supported by UL Environmental Committee staff members, Liz Gabbett (Department of history and geography) and Yvonne Ryan (Department of Chemical Sciences).
