Sunrise BioBlitz ends September 30th!
‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘Blitz’ means ‘to do something quickly and intensively’. Together they make ‘BioBlitz’ a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species as possible within a set location during a defined time period.
Why a BioBlitz?
It gives the public an opportunity to contribute to a genuine scientific survey. You don't have to be an expert to participate! The benefit of using iNaturalist is that when you upload an observation it will suggest an identification, and it allows the iNaturalist community to then confirm or suggest corrections.
How to Participate in Sunrise
STEP 1: Download the iNaturalist app to your smart phone, and log in or create an iNaturalist account (you will need an account to join our project).
STEP 2: Visit our project page Parks For Pollinators 2024: Sunrise, FL on iNaturalist and click "Join."
STEP 3: Starting September 1st, visit any Sunrise Park and take photographs of everything that might be related to pollinators: trees, butterflies, bees and other insects, caterpillars, chrysalis, eggs, and plants and flowers that you see! Upload the photos using the iNaturalist app. It will automatically link up to our project page through September 30th!
Sunrise BioBlitz Bingo

Parks For Pollinators BioBlitz
The Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz is a national effort for people to find and document pollinator friendly plants and pollinators across the country in partnership with their local park and recreation agency. It’s a national campaign to see who can make the most observations, engage the most people and promote pollinator awareness and education. The results not only make an impact for awareness of pollinators nationally and for those that participate, but also helps agencies know what pollinator and plant species are in their parks and helps them plan for how to protect them and promote biodiversity.
