What is a Bioblitz?

A BioBlitz is a community science initiative to help record and catalog the biodiversity of a given area within a certain time period. The Durham BioBlitz is a great way to connect people to their environment while generating useful data for science and conservation and having fun!

Volunteers will use the iNaturalist app to make observations during the project timeline, and expert identifiers will help turn these observations into data points that can be used in scientific research.

The 2024 Durham-wide BioBlitz will take place from April 26-May 6.
