About the Event

The Harris Center's SuperSanctuary of protected lands encompasses more than 26,000 acres, and it’s chock full of native biodiversity — from snakes to slime molds, moose to moss. We’re documenting as many of these species as possible via the community science platform iNaturalist, and we need your help to find even more! With the Harris Center as our home base, we’ll offer several guided walks and short workshops throughout the day, each focused on identifying and recording different taxa (birds, butterflies, trees, and more).

Festivities will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Harris Center and nearby field sites; come anytime and stay as long as you like. The BioBlitz will continue through Sunday, when you’re encouraged to explore our SuperSanctuary properties on your own, recording your finds via iNaturalist as you go.

Registration is strongly encouraged.

What to bring

Bring a bag lunch and a smartphone or tablet with the iNaturalist app installed, and come prepared for sun and biting insects.

Youth Instructions

Youth volunteers (elementary-school age and up) are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult. In addition, teens and tweens are welcome to join the related "Young Birders Club: Birds & More BioBlitz" outing at 8 a.m. on the morning of the BioBlitz. Separate registration for that outing is required at harriscenter.org/events/kestrels-young-birders-club-supersanctuary-bioblitz.
