BioBlitz

Published on Apr 7 2025

APRIL 26 , EUREKA CAMPUS, 6 AM- 2 PM, BUT COME ANYTIME!

 

What is a BioBlitz?

A BioBlitz is a community effort to record as many species as possible at a designated location and time.
Do I need to already know a lot about nature?Nope. You just need to want to explore. 

Do I need to come at 6am? Do I need to stay the whole time?

Nope. 6am is for folks who want to catch the birds as they wake up. Come any time you want and stay for as little or long as you like.

Can I bring my friends? Family? Dog?

Absolutely yes to friends and family! Please don’t bring pets other than service animals because they can scare wildlife away.

What if I’m only interested in 
a certain group of organsims?

Great! You can spend all your time focusing on your favorites.

How do I prepare? 

Go to iNaturalist.org and make an account and download the app to your smartphone. iNaturalist collects natural history 
observations of lay people and professionals worldwide. You see an organism, you photograph it, and you upload 
the photo. iNaturalist helps you ID the organism and records it. 

We will be recording all our finds in the iNaturalist Spring 2025 College of the Redwoods BioBlitz online.

What if I don’t have a smartphone?

Come anyway! The more eyes 
the better, and if you have a 
digital camera you can still upload 
photos using a computer.
