Centenary Bioblitz

Help us take a snapshot of Bedgebury Pinetum's biodiversity 

To celebrate Bedgebury National Pinetum’s big birthday in 2025, we invite you to take part in our special Centenary Bioblitz. 

Immerse yourself in nature for a day of discovery, learning, and fun as we identify and record as many species as possible that call Bedgebury National Pinetum home. 

From fungi and plants to birds and bugs, each observation helps us better understand and protect this special place, for the next 100 years and beyond.
