What to expect:
The Nature Detectives Trail is an exploratory nature trail with five stations. Participants will stop at these stations to report their findings or engage in activities. The last station is located at Gulbenkian, with four stations placed along the trail. At the BioBlitz 2024 information desk, families will be equipped with a map and guidebook before starting their journey, and kids will be asked to take pictures of their favourite objects (wildlife, family, person) during this activity. Families will be welcomed back at the end of their experiences, and kids will be asked to choose their most favourite picture to be printed out and stick on the BioBlitz wall.
