Do you know what creatures are thriving at Gateway Arch National Park? Become a citizen scientist to help us find out!
Join Gateway Arch National Park on Saturday, September 28, 2024, from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., for a BioBlitz event to celebrate National Public Lands Day!
What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is a period of biological surveying to record the living species within a designated area. It allows us to better understand what creatures are in our park at the time of the survey. It is interesting to learn what creatures use our very urban national park, but the project also has a larger significance. As human populations urbanize, gathering good data about what landscape features promote biodiversity in urban areas is more important than ever.
How does it work?
Through the iNaturalist app, use your cell phone to take pictures of birds, insects, arachnids, and other creatures you see throughout the park. No animal identification skills are needed. Your data will help the park, St. Louisans, and more know what creatures are where.
iNaturalist is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature.
Where?
Registration is available here. Online registration guarantees you will receive free parking and arrival instructions for the event. Volunteers will meet at the registration table outside the entrance of the Visitor Center at Gateway Arch National Park. Here they will check-in, download the app, and get instructions for the day.
Who can participate?
Anyone can participate if they have a cell phone with a working camera and can download the iNaturalist App.
What if I have questions?
Contact the Gateway Arch National Park volunteer coordinator at barbara_michel@nps.gov.
