Tarrytown | Sheldrake Environmental Center

Join Sheldrake for our second annual Backyard Bioblitz, a week-long citizen-science project, where you (and your team) are the scientists gathering data.

Bioblitzes aim to find, identify, and record as many species as possible throughout the plant, fungus, and animal kingdoms over a short period of time, getting an accurate snapshot of an area’s overall biodiversity. A bioblitz allows scientists, naturalists, families, students, teachers, scout troops, and other community members to work together. We had so much fun during our 2020 Bioblitz, we couldn’t wait to do it again!

Sheldrake’s bioblitz will take place during the week of July 25-31 in your backyard or neighborhood. Participation is open to anyone in Westchester County. Register below. We’ll follow up with additional information about your participation.

Yes, you can join after July 25–it’s not too late!
