World Parks Congress BioBlitz 2014

The World Parks Congress BioBlitz is a free all-ages citizen science event that brings together scientists, naturalists and the community to create a snapshot of biodiversity in the Sydney Olympic Park area. Be inspired by our experts as they take you on guided surveys where you’ll go hunting for birds, insects, plants and water bugs.

The mixture of wildlife experts and the wider community is central to the BioBlitz concept and creates an event which is both enjoyable and meaningful to scientists and the community, which achieves a deeper knowledge of the species of this place and encourages further observation, learning and recording of biodiversity.

Participants joining this event will have the opportunity to:

• Join surveys and learn about the many fascinating birds, plants and
  insects
  and other organisms that call Sydney Olympic Park home.

• Listen to expert presentations (e.g. frogs)
• Engage in insect based workshops at the basecamp.
• Get close and personal with a range of animals at the Taronga Zoo Mobile

The event will be held on the 16th November during the World Parks
Congress Public Festival 'Planetfest' at Cathy Freeman Park. Surveys
will be carried out from 8am until 5pm in the afternoon. Participants
can join for as little or long as they like.
