Location: Assiniboine Park - Meet at the BioBlitz tent near the Cargo Bar

A BioBlitz is a collective effort to record as many plant and animal species as possible within a designated location and time. Events of this nature are a great way to encourage public awareness around biodiversity while generating useful data for science and conservation. 

Community volunteers are invited to explore the Park at their leisure and use iNaturalist to document their observations. A cell phone with data service is required.

For event planning purposes, advance registration is encouraged. Walk-ups are also welcome.
