Ours is one of only five Bioblitz projects across Canada that the CWF selected for funding!&nbsp;Organized by PECFN and Feral Folc, in partnership with&nbsp;SSJI, PEPtBO, Friends of Delhi Park, VTLA Studio and Trees for PEC, the Bioblitz is an opportunity for connection and collaboration with all those who care about nature. It is one of Canada&#8217;s largest&nbsp;community science initiatives.<br>Our study area follows Marsh Creek from Glenwood Cemetery, through Delhi Park to Picton Bay. This beloved green space in the heart of Picton is home to wetlands, a creek, meadow and mature tree canopy, all providing essential habitat and an ecological corridor for wildlife. We&#8217;ll document what we find on iNaturalist and produce a report for the CWF in early October. Copies will be available to all on the PECFN website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone can participate and all observations documented will contribute to a better understanding of overall ecosystem health while supporting one of Canada&#8217;s largest community science initiatives. This collaboration and recording of local plants, birds, animals, insects, fungi and more is intended to build local knowledge, strengthen relationships and lay the groundwork for ongoing community stewardship and ecological monitoring along Marsh Creek.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Bioblitz is free to attend and will offer iNaturalist training, informative learning materials about local species, drop-in exploration and activities for all ages, and scheduled walks, workshops and conversations on specific themes and species. Along with our partners, we&#8217;ll publicize the event to a wide audience. No previous experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to slow down and look a little closer.&nbsp;<br>Full program and registration details will be posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/pecfieldnaturalists.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pecfieldnaturalists.org<\/a> and through participating organizations. More news for PECFN members will be sent soon. To get involved, contact <a href=\"mailto:feralfolc@gmail.com\">feralfolc@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re sure this will be a very exciting event! Please mark it in your calendar. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re pleased to officially announce&nbsp;our&nbsp;Canadian Wildlife Federation&#8217;s Great Canadian Bioblitz, September 25 and 26.
