Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Reserve in Lincoln
Event description
🦋 Join our exciting search for various species in the Mahoe Native Reserve in Lincoln. You'll be on the hunt for anything that flies, grows, crawls and hides!
Taking place on Sunday 27 April, 2 pm - 4 pm at Mahoe Native Reserve, 34 Boundary Road, Lincoln.
As part of the City Nature Challenge Ōtautahi, we are running another Mini BioBlitz. We welcome nature enthusiasts of all ages to this free event at which you will identify species found in the reserve and upload your observations to iNaturalist.NZ. The challenge takes place globally as people all over the world look to see the diversity of life in our local areas. We encourage you to download the iNaturalist app onto your mobile device and then you can use it to upload photos of organisms at the event.
We are very grateful to the people who have already volunteered to help you with identifying species and using the iNaturalist app to report all our findings. There will also be people showing us how we can examine the health of our water and our soil, two very important issues for our natural environment.
This free event was very successful last year, and we look forward to another enjoyable afternoon. Booking is not required just come along and join the fun.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
