Portland-Vancouver Regional Eco-Blitz Series: Fernhill Wetlands

Saturday, May 14, 2016 - 7:00am to 1:00pm
Park/Trail: 

Be part of a new citizen science movement, and contribute to the region’s species inventory! 

Whether out of need for baseline data to support a conservation program or just pure curiosity, we often wonder about the various life forms around us. Numerous species surveys are conducted throughout the Portland-Vancouver region, but the resulting data is not always accessible or might not translate well for the general public. The Portland-Vancouver Regional Eco-Blitz Series will establish continuous species identification events, bringing together partners from throughout the area to make the data transparent and accessible to all. We will do this by displaying real-time data created by participants like you. View database below.

The Eco-Blitz Series aims to:

  • Raise awareness of biodiversity
  • Generate appreciation of natural resources
  • Establish a shared effort among science professionals, educators and the general public
  • Create a shared database of regional species and natural resources
