How to Run a BioBlitz Workshop: A Guide to Harnessing Citizen Science for Success

From the experienced team who helped found the globally successful event, the Great Southern BioBlitz, join us for an engaging and informative BioBlitz workshop run by Ferox australis and hosted by the City of Salisbury. 

The workshop will include an introduction to the iNaturalist platform, and managing a BioBlitz before, during and after the event. We will undertake our own mock BioBlitz outdoors, so please dress appropriately on the day. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of how to effectively run BioBlitz events.

This workshop is designed to be accessible to all experience levels and aims to foster inclusivity and collaboration among participants. It is ideal for citizen science leaders such as teachers, councils, friends of groups, organisations, government agencies, and other stakeholders involved or interested in environmental work. Whether you are a seasoned project leader or new to citizen science project management, you will find valuable insights and practical tools to enhance your biodiversity monitoring projects. Light refreshments will be provided.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting and enriching event, helping to build a more knowledgeable and connected community of citizen scientists in South Australia.
