The third annual Kellogg Creek BioBlitz will be held on May 16th, 2026! Help us to document the plants, birds, insects, and other wildlife that are currently present in and around the soon-to-be restored Kellogg Creek! Last year, 75 volunteers documented over 171 different species of plants, birds, fungi, fish and more in the natural areas surrounding the Kellogg Impoundment during our 2 hour surveys and we can’t wait to see what we find this year! Check back in February for registration!

During the Kellogg Creek BioBlitz, volunteers will join a group with a specific focus (like birds, plants or insects) that will be led by a local expert who can help with identification and share their vast knowledge and passion on the subject! We have a lot of exciting group options this year that you can read about on our registration page. Survey groups will document their findings using the free iNaturalist app during the two hour survey and then reconvene to share their findings with the group and enjoy a celebratory lunch provided by the Watersheds Council!

The Bioblitz is open to everyone! You don’t need to be an expert naturalist or have experience with iNaturalist to participate – we have local experts that will lead your group to help with identification and data submission.

We are looking for local experts and amateur enthusiasts to serve as Volunteer Survey Leaders for this years BioBlitz! We are currently looking for folks to lead our Spanish bird and plant identification survey groups. If you are interested in leading a group email Peyton at peyton@ncwatersheds.org.

Buscamos expertos locales y entusiastas de la naturaleza que quieran dirigir grupos enfocados en la identificación de plantas o aves. Si te interesa dirigir un grupo y quieres más información, por favor contáctanos a través de Peyton al correo peyton@ncwatersheds.org.
