BioBlitz Events

An event in which Master Naturalists, wildlife biologists, other scientists and community members work together to locate and identify as many species of flora and fauna possible of a specified area in a set range of time.

Volunteers identify and report the different species of vegetation and wildlife as they gain knowledge about the designated area. The information is then used to plan the management of the area.

2024 Activities – 50 volunteers with 857 hours of service performed

• In addition to participating in annual bioblitz events such as the City Nature Challenge, Texas Pollinator BioBlitz and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, volunteers helped at several one-day bioblitzes held at newly formed parks and preserves to collect baseline data which will help inform future land management decisions
