Summer 2022 Bioblitz at the Wetland Centre

From June 14th-19th, 2022, Ducks Unlimited Canada hosted the second ever Bioblitz at the Wetland Centre using the app iNaturalist. Over this 5 day period, the Wetland Centre was teeming with life; Visitors collected 158 observations, documenting 85 species of plants, fungi, amphibians, birds, and mammals at the site. The most common observations can be found below.

A bioblitz is a great way for nature enthusiasts of all age, skill, and interest levels to familiarize themselves with the biodiversity in an area. Each species identified in the specified time period contributes to an improved understanding of the diverse communities present at the Wetland Centre.
