  • Public Engagement and Wildlife Recording Events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium
    - DRAFT - The rise and rise of BioBlitz: public engagement and wildlife recording events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium Abstract A BioBlitz is a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species of plants, animals and fungi as possible, within a set location, over a defined time period - usually 24 hours. A BioBlitz usually combines the collection of biological records with public engagement as experienced naturalists and scientists explore an area with members of the public, volunteers and school groups. The number of BioBlitz events taking place in the UK has increased explosively since the initiation of the National BioBlitz programme in 2009 attracting large numbers of people to take part and gathering a large amount of biological data. BioBlitz events are organised with diverse but not mutually exclusive aims and objectives and the majority of events are considered successful in meeting those aims. BioBlitz events can cater for and attract a wide diversity of participants through targeted activities, particularly in terms of age range, and (in the UK) have engaged an estimated 2,250 people with little or no prior knowledge of nature conservation in 2013. BioBlitz events have not been able to replicate that success in terms of attracting participants from ethnic minority groups. Key positive outcomes for BioBlitz participants identified in this study include enjoyment, knowledge and skills based learning opportunities, social and professional networking opportunities and inspiring positive action Whilst we know that these events generate a lot of biological records, the value of that data to the end user is difficult to quantify with the current structure of local and national recording schemes.

  • Countryside Jobs Service
    Countryside Jobs Service Focus on Volunteering In association with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) 9 February 2015 Volunteering and diversity Over 15 million people volunteer every month in the UK. They make a huge contribution to society, and in 2012 volunteering was estimated to contribute the equivalent of £24bn towards the economy1. Despite these impressive statistics, access to volunteering is still limited for some groups in society. People who are unemployed and those with a disability or life- limiting illness are less likely to volunteer. Not only does this mean that many people aren’t benefitting from skills and experiences which can be developed through volunteering, organisations are also missing out on the skills of talented individuals and are less likely to reflect the diversity of the communities they work in. Although the Equality Act doesn’t apply to volunteers, it is still unacceptable to discriminate against them, and organisations University of Gloucestershire SU – by recruiting volunteers should try wherever possible to reduce from diverse backgrounds organisations can benefit from a range of experiences. barriers to volunteering. Here are some of the key barriers faced by potential volunteers, and top tips for how to solve them. Time commitment A common misconception is that volunteering requires giving up large chunks of time each week, and that only retired people or people who work part-time have the time to volunteer. Organisations which only offer fixed or lengthy commitments risk excluding people with unpredictable workloads, shift work, and caring or child care responsibilities. Having a range of volunteering opportunities will help you recruit volunteers from a more diverse background.
