What is a BioBlitz?

A BioBlitz is part social event, part scientific expedition. Armed with the iNaturalist app and guided by experts, we’ll head into the field to document the rare and rugged ecosystems near Gerton, NC.

Explore: Navigate diverse terrains with expert naturalists.
Learn: Discover how to identify local flora and fauna.
Contribute: Every observation you upload becomes part of a global database used by scientists to track environmental health.
