Join us for the Bioblitz at the Park School of Buffalo! A Bioblitz is a community science project with the goal of identifying as many species as possible within a set time limit to help document an area's biodiversity and connect people with their natural world.
Participate in this wonderful community science opportunity.
There will be a morning, afternoon, and evening session. During each of these time blocks, team leaders, each with their own focus, will lead attendees outdoors to find and identify their target species.
Team leader group focuses may include: birds, herbaceous plants, woody plants, aquatic life, mammals and terrestrial vertebrates, and nocturnal life.
During this event, you will join one of these groups during your session on a quest to identify as many species possible within their focus!
You may register for one or more of these sessions:
Morning Time Block: 9:00AM-12:00PM
Afternoon Time Block: 12:30APM-3:30PM
All Day Time Block (include both the morning and afternoon session): 9:00AM-3:30PM (Lunch break from 12:00PM-12:30PM, please bring your own lunch).
Evening Time Block (Focused on Owls and nocturnal wildife): 7:00PM-9:30PM
Each time block will start indoors for roughly one hour to review the goal of the event, distribute attendees amongst team leaders, and discuss how to upload species findings to the INaturalist database.
Afterwards, you will head outside with your group leader and identify as many species as you can within your focus!
This program is open to people of all ages. Parents must stay in the same group as their children. There will also be a "Little Tikes" group in the morning and afternoon time blocks for families with small children to join!
