THANK YOU ONTARIO BIOBLITZERS
for a wonderful 2018 season!

Have you added observations to our
2018 iNaturalist project yet? 
We're compiling all the observations recorded between May 21 - Sept 23, across the whole Durham Region for our 2018 species count!

​Since 2012, we have observed more than 3646 species across all Ontario BioBlitz flagship events!

Canadians from coast, to coast, to coast observed more than 5700 species in 2017 with BioBlitz Canada 150. Explore the full list of observations on the iNaturalist project here, including species from the Rouge National Urban Park BioBlitz
