BioBox Loan Scheme
About The Project
The BioBox Loan Scheme is a hands-on way to explore, record, and celebrate the wildlife around you. Each BioBox is packed with easy-to-use survey equipment, from bat detectors and moth traps to pond nets and tracking tunnels, making ecological monitoring fun and accessible in gardens, local greenspaces, woodland edges, or farmland.
By submitting sightings, the scheme helps build a clearer picture of biodiversity across the Weald to Waves corridor. The data guides conservation efforts, tracks changes over time, and highlights where species and habitats need support, while giving everyone involved a chance to connect with the incredible wildlife on their doorstep.
The BioBox Loan Scheme empowers local action, sparks curiosity about the natural world, and contributes directly to nature recovery across Sussex.

Collaborative Effort
The success of our BioBoxes has been thanks to our amazing partners, who have contributed their expertise and resources to the scheme. Without them, nature recovery on a landscape scale would not be possible.
