Occidental College BioBlitz
March 30, 2019
Learn about the amazing biodiversity found in your own backyard!
What is the BioBlitz?
The BioBlitz is a citizen science event to document the biodiversity of Occidental College. During this one day event, we will identify as many species as possible on the Occidental College campus. These data will provide baseline knowledge about local biodiversity so we can measure how these species respond to future environmental changes.
History of BioBlitz @ Occidental College
The first BioBlitz at Oxy was in 2016 and the Oxy community has participated actively in making this an annual event. The history of each year’s count can be followed at Inaturalist.
