What is a Bioblitz?

A snapshot of biodiversity, a bioblitz gives us a view into our local ecosystem and the health of our habitats. Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill is a bird hot spot, with substantial grasslands providing vital nesting grounds for Bobolinks and home to endangered Monarchs. Vlei Marsh is designated as a DEC Significant Biodiversity Area in the Hudson Valley, and a rich diversity of bird, amphibian and mammal life can be observed.

Here’s how to get started:

To gather our Biobliz data we will use the iNaturalist app.

1. Download the iNaturalist app and create an account.   

2. Join the Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill – Winnakee Land Trust project and the Vlei Marsh – Winnakee Land Trust project. To do that: navigate to Projects in the iNaturalist app and search for Winnakee.
