BioBlitz

From guided nature walks in local Metro Parks to your own backyard, you can contribute to real scientific research just by taking pictures of plants and animals. A BioBlitz is a fun way to engage in citizen science and explore the living things around us. Join us and take guided hikes in Metro Parks, or explore stream life with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Whether you’re in Wayne National Forest or your own backyard, you can participate and make a difference!
