We’re hosting a BioBlitz on Friday, May 24 - Saturday, May 25th. Come help us inventory the biodiversity of species found on our Massassauga property. Over the 24 hours, we will try to count as many species of plants, animals, insects, fungi, and other organisms that are found on our property. At the end, we’ll compile our data and use it for future research initiatives.
Located in the heart of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, and acquired in 2001 through Eco Gifts Canada, the Massassauga property is an ecologically sensitive area with mixed forest interspersed with numerous wetlands, lakes and rocky outcrops.
All are welcome! A BioBlitz can only be successful with the help of you. Though species experts are very helpful, a broad range of species knowledge is welcome. We’ll have opportunities to refine your ID skills and utilize technology like iNaturalist to identify encountered species.
