Learn About Bio Blitzing | Luther Burbank

Friday, April 26, 2024 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm


City Nature Challenge (https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/) is a global effort in which cities mobilize community science to share nature observations through bio blitzing. Bio blitzes are events that focus on finding and identifying as many species as possible from insects to plants, birds to algae.  Every year since 2018 the Seattle-Tacoma Metro Area has been joining in the fun, and so can you!

This year’s City Nature Challenge runs from April 26th- April 29th, and Mercer Island will be hosting a series of events to help contribute data.

On Friday 4/26 from 4pm-5pm we will teach you all about the basics of Bio Blitzing, from how to use iNaturalist to suggestions on where and how to observe. All ages are welcome.

  • When: Friday, April 26th, 4pm-5pm
  • Where: Luther Burbank Park, near the Admin building
  • What to bring: A smartphone or tablet with iNaturalist
