Eco Blitz Kickoff 2024
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
The event’s main goal is to unite students, classes, researchers, conservation organizations, and community members to document local biodiversity and the environment on campus! We will use the free nature identification app iNaturalist to collect data during this event.
The EcoBlitz event features tours with naturalists and scientists to collect data and a variety of nature-themed activities for all age groups hosted by student groups, research groups, and community partners. Our Kickoff event will have tours and activity or information tables, and opportunities to log data. Participation in logging data and tours may also happen anytime during the EcoBlitz.
