Take a closer look at nature, and you’ll be amazed—there are more plants, insects, and birds than you ever imagined. Each species is unique, and together they reveal the beauty of biodiversity. By spotting rare birds, identifying special plants, and counting insects, you gain a deeper appreciation for nature’s richness. And what better place to do that than in and around National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug?

From 17-31 May you can join the ‘Bioblitz’ in Nationaal Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug, by adding your discoveries on waarneming.nl or in the Obsidentify app. While counting species, remember to stay on the paths to avoid disturbing wildlife.
You don’t have to go far to discover biodiversity—take a closer look in your own neighborhood or garden. See what’s crawling, flying, or growing near your home and uncover the richness of nature right where you are!

National Park Day is about more than just enjoying nature—it’s about taking action. The more we learn about the species in our parks, the better we can protect them. By counting species in the Nationaal Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug, we highlight the incredible biodiversity around us and gain valuable insights into the health of our natural world.
