We have some exciting news! We are launching our first Bioblitz of the summer from June 18th-20th.
Ecology Ottawa’s Summer Bioblitz is a 3 day event that challenges you to get outside and document your nearby nature. We will be collectively trying to document as many observations as we can from birds, butterflies to plants, you name it! So, whether it be on a local hike or in your own backyard, get ready to get outside and document all kinds of living things you see!
Can't join us for all three days? No problem at all! Whether you can only participate on one day or can only provide one observation, every finding matters! So join us anytime this weekend and let's explore Ottawa together!
Want your observations be featured?
We will be posting your observations on our Instagram! So, make sure to post photos of your findings tagging @ecologyottawa with the hashtag #EOBioblitz on Instagram or email [email protected] for the chance to be featured!
For more information on how to participate check out our Summer Bioblitz event page. We hope you can join us for this virtual event!
