Volunteers sought for Point Pelee Bioblitz

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to leave their mark on the official species list at Point Pelee National Park this weekend.

The national park is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and is looking for volunteers and participants for its BioBlitz.

Starting at 12 p.m. on July 21, the park’s resource conservation staff will be joined by nature experts and naturalists to conduct an all-park search for different varieties of species.

The Bioblitz continues into Sunday where volunteers can capture a detailed snapshot of the park’s diversity using the mobile application iNaturalist. For more information or to get involved, visit www.pc.gc.ca.
