The hunt starts on Easter Sunday for anything that swims, flies, grows, crawls and hides! Visit your local reserve or any natural area and see what you can find.
You will be using the iNaturalist NZ website so you need to install the iNaturalist NZ app on your mobile and focus on nature.
BioBlitz is a scientific race against time to count as many different species as you can in a 24-hour period. Throughout Easter Sunday you can become a Citizen Scientist, it’s up to you whether you spend an hour or all day as a Nature Detective.
Challenge yourself to find creatures that only come out early in the morning or in the dark?
For all ages 1 to 100!
Mobile phone with camera and iNaturalist app or
Digital camera (if you don’t have a mobile phone) and computer with internet access to iNaturalist website.
