A Bio Blitz is an event that brings teams of people together to try and document as many species of plant or animal in one location as possible. Oregon Park District is participating in the 2024 Parks for Pollinators National Bio Blitz initiative, and we need your help! Teams of people led by Park District Staff will use the free iNaturalist App to photograph as many different species of pollinators in our parks as we can. Oregon Park District staff will supply nets and lead a brief training on how to take and load your pictures, and then you get to have fun helping us record butterflies, moths, bees and other pollinators. Participation in this program is FREE and open to all ages, but at least one member of each family in attendance must have a smartphone or tablet with the free iNaturalist app installed in order to participate. Preregistration required to help us coordinate teams.
