Join us in our backyard, Golden Gate Park, for a grassroots, smartphone-powered bioblitz to catalogue every living species we can identify from the end of the panhandle to Crossover Drive!
We'll be bioblitzing around the California Academy of Sciences, up at Stow Lake and Strawberry Hill, in the oak woodlands, and everywhere in between.
Bring your smartphone and/or a camera, your curiosity and tons of enthusiasm. We’ll rally some experts and folks who know the area. Together we’ll make some great discoveries, get to know these places and each other better!
A Bio-Blitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location, bringing scientists and volunteer citizen-scientists together. Together, we’ll look for snails, birds, mammals, frogs, butterflies, other insects, spiders, trees, worms, flowers, and everything else we can find!
People of all ages and skill levels are welcome! Bring your smart phone for sure. Bonus: camera, binoculars, and magnifying glasses. We’ll enter observations in iNaturalist and join together at the end to find out how many observations we made and how many species we found. Past blitzes in Oakland, San Francisco, and San Mateo have averaged 1000 observations and 200+ species each. Hooray!

Brought to you by the California Academy of Sciences, Nerds for Nature, Nature in the City and iNaturalist.
The fun starts at 9 AM Saturday at the back entrance of the Academy at 75 Nancy Pelosi Dr. We will blitz for three hours and then meet up around noon to go over our finds!
