BioBlitz - National Pollinator Week Event Details:

In celebration of National Pollinator Week, June 19 through June 25, 2023, The Woodlands Township is hosting “BioBlitz”, a week-long community effort to identify as many local species as possible. This effort is a fun, informal opportunity for the public to learn together and share their enthusiasm for nature.

National Pollinator Week brings attention to the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Created by Pollinator.org, this worldwide celebration is also a call to action to save bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles.

The iNaturalist app makes collecting photographs and biological information about living things easy and ads vital information about local species to the BioBlitz. The data collected through iNaturalist becomes part of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, an open-source database used by scientists and policy makers around the world. Anyone regardless of age, skill or knowledge can participate in this community-wide event.

How you can participate in BioBlitz 2023

Download the iNaturalist app onto your phone or tablet.
Familiarize yourself with the app by watching a tutorial or diving right into taking photos of critters, insects or plants, and uploading them via the iNaturalist app.
