To celebrate the launch of our Community Science projects on iNaturalist, we are running a BioBlitz from May 5th – May 19th! All submissions to our FrogWatch Ontario or Ontario Turtle Tally projects made through iNaturalist during this period will be counted towards the BioBlitz.

As a bonus, there will be prizes awarded to community scientists who submit submissions during the event! 1 randomly selected observer from each project will be selected, with the grand prize going to the person who submits the most submissions. The prize packs will include various Adopt-A-Pond resources, as well as 2 admission vouchers to your Toronto Zoo!

For any questions about this event, please email us at aap@torontozoo.ca

Our first iNaturalist BioBlitz is officially closed! Thank you to all who submitted observations of turtles, frogs, and toads of Ontario 🌱 The prize winners will be contacted directly to receive their prize packs.

In total, you submitted 62 observations encompassing 6 species of frogs 🐸 and 5 species of turtles 🐢 throughout Ontario!

Although this BioBlitz is over, continue to submit your sightings to our iNaturalist projects, and stay tuned for more updates! 🐍
