"Canada’s nature selfie for our 150th"
– Canadian Wildlife Federation
close

A bioblitz brings together expert naturalists and taxonomic scientists to inventory as many species as possible in a particular area in a set amount of time, typically over 24 hours. The species records are compiled into a single data set of the biodiversity in that location at that point in time.

Often, the experts are joined by interested members of the general public for a community-style bioblitz, which blends scientific inventory, guided educational activities and nature programming so that everyone can contribute to real science, while connecting with nature in a personally meaningful experience.

portraitA Bioblitz of Garry Oak Ecosystems and Adjacent Habitat in Greater Victoria

Victoria is in a very diverse bioregion with habitats including endangered Garry Oak Ecosystems, Coastal Douglas-fir forests and rich intertidal marine life. Our rallying spot will be the scrub oak habitat of Cattle Point by Uplands Park and we will work in groups to sample other locations in the region.

"I try to spend as much time as I can outside in nature but I guess I don’t really think about what’s around me on a day to day basis. It was cool to have experts point out so many species and explain some of their techniques."

Nick, first year environmental studies student
