Spring Bioblitz

4th Bioblitz at WPP

Help us record the plants, animals, and fungi species on 1800-acres of Wildlife Prairie Park from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on April 26, 2025. Let’s celebrate Earth Day by making as many observations as we can and catalog the biodiversity of WPP.

Come to the Park and learn about iNaturalist and eBird and put it into action by making observations. Stop by the information table by the Visitor Center during the event for information about the Bioblitz, our ongoing Biodiversity Project, and how you can volunteer to join. 

10 a.m. & noon
Learn how to use iNaturalist and eBird with a 15 minute presentation on both databases and put it into action on a short 10-15 minute hike with knowledgable WPP Naturalists.

iNaturalist

  • Anyone can be a naturalist with iNaturalist. Just download the app and upload a picture of the wildlife you observe at the Park. The app will even help you identify what you see!
  • Check out the Spring Bioblitz Project Page, that will post real time updates during the Bioblitz. 
  • Become a member of the WPP Biodiversity Project Page that will show wildlife observations at the Park over the past few years.

eBird

  • Didn't catch a photo or sound recording of a bird, but know what species it is? Create a checklist in eBird to track the bird species you observe and hear. With your help to identify a few more species found at the Park, WPP could be the top hotspot for birds in the area on eBird!
  • Check out Wildlife Prairie Park's eBird hotspot where you can add checklists and see what birds species others observed around the Park.  

The Spring Bioblitz is FREE with Park admission.
