Hello fellow naturalist,

I plan to participate in the Bioblitz this weekend and thought the followi=
ng facts would be helpful for any others with similar inclinations=2E

The Name of the event is not just Bioblitz but "City Nature Challenge 2020=
"=2E You can learn about the project on the iNaturalist web page at the fo=
llowing link=2E  This year there are three regions participating in the bi=
oblitz and you can read about them in the links below=2E

lis-valley

x-regional-municipality
https://www=2Einaturalist=2Eorg/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-cape-b=
reton-regional-municipality-cbrm

It is easy to participate once you are a user of iNaturalist=2Eorg=2E  (It=
's free so get your username and password now  http://iNaturalist=2Eorg)=2E=

All we have to do is to report our observations on our iNaturalist page=2E=
  As long as the observation indicates that it was done in Kings, Annapoli=
s, Halifax, or Cape Breton regions of Nova Scotia AND during the time peri=
od of April 24th through April 27th it will be added to the data for the C=
ity Natural Challenge=2E

This year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be no contest betwe=
en 'cities' but the bioblitz will continue=2E The collection of informatio=
n on local natural history is of great value=2E  More details on participa=
tion is available on the City Nature Challenge webpage at
https://citynaturechallenge=2Eorg

This sight has an excellent document (pdf)  suggesting how to observe natu=
re near home=2E The direct link is

Have fun, be safe and enjoy the weekend, Thanks
