What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is a 24-hour race against the clock to discover and record as many species of plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms as possible. Community members, families, scientists, students, and teachers all work together - guided by experienced naturalists - to explore and document local biodiversity. Everything we find contributes to local and national wildlife databases.
BioBlitz 2025 – Discover, record, and celebrate biodiversity.
