BioBlitz at Kępa Potocka Park – October 2026

This is a nature activity involving the simultaneous search for as many species of plants and animals as possible, with the participation of experts, volunteers and residents. BioBlitzes are often organized in green areas, parks and reserves located within or near cities in order to gain at least partial knowledge about the species occurring there. After the June and September events, we invite you to the autumn edition of research walks. START at Bistro Mała Czarna, ul. Gwiaździsta 69 Duration of each walk 2-4 h.

We ensure the greatest possible safety for participants, however during the walks closer than usual contact is planned with plants, animals and other organisms that may cause allergic reactions or other undesirable symptoms in sensitive people. Adjust the type of walk and the form and scope of your participation to the capabilities and needs of your body. Minors may participate in the walks under the supervision of adults.
