Monterey Bay Backyard Bioblitz!

Watsonville Wetlands Watch invites you to join us as community scientists and work together to collect data for our first annual Monterey Bay Backyard Bioblitz!

From April 21-24 you can help our local ecosystems by recording the wild plants, animals, and insects you see around your home. This can be outside in your yard, your patio, from your window, or even inside if you have any wild visitors. The number of observations you and other participants make so close to home may surprise you!

Data collection is easy, all you need to do is make an account on iNaturalist.org, a community science website and phone app. Anything you record between Tuesday and Friday will be automatically updated to our project. If you’d like to join and want a quick guide on how to get iNaturalist, you can click the link below. We hope you’ll join us digitally to find some cool organisms!
