Bioblitz - Community Biodiversity Inventory on Campus

On Friday, April 24th, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the J.-Armand-Bombardier Building picnic area, take a moment to recharge your batteries and connect with nature!

Come help us inventory biodiversity on campus!

Even on a small campus, we can observe a wealth of biodiversity. Come discover all the hidden life! No registration required.

This bioblitz is a citizen science project: we invite you to make observations via the iNaturalist platform, specifically using the app on your mobile device.

On site, you will be accompanied by an iNaturalist specialist and member of our community, the Sustainability Office as well as the Sustainability Squad.

Your observations count! No expertise required.

You observe, enter your observations on the iNaturalist platform, and experts will identify the listed biodiversity.

Your observations will be used to contribute to the biodiversity inventory of Polytechnique Montréal, to the Greater Montreal inventory through the Défi nature urbaine (an urban nature challenge), and to an international biodiversity database: the Global Biodiversity Information Facility – GBIF.

You will be able to continue your observations in Greater Montreal until April 27, so that the observations are listed as part of the Défi nature urbaine of Montréal, but also throughout the year to feed our campus inventory.

Can't wait any longer and want to get ready? Before April 24th : Download the iNaturalist app, add the project « Polytechnique Montréal-réseau biodiversité au campus ».
