What is a BioBlitz?
What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is a collaborative event with the goal of finding and identifying as many different species of plants, animals and fungi as possible in a given area over a specific period of time. Usually observations are added to an App or website. Bioblitzes are citizen science projects open to anyone. Check out the results from our FALL 2023, SPRING 2023 & FALL 2022 BIOBLITZES!

Watch a video tutorial on how to use iNaturalist and how to add observations to a project, or come to one of the trainings.
During the week of SEPT. 30th - OCT. 6th, upload as many observations as possible to the project around AppState properties. The more variety of species the better to count towards our biodiversity challenge.
Check often for updates on how we are doing.
There will be PRIZES for most species identified and more!
