Description
Celebrate Assateague Island National Seashore’s Birthday and National Public Lands Day with us!
Participate in our week-long iNaturalist BioBlitz, September 21st – 27th, identifying as many species within the park as possible. Enjoy one of our trails, walk the beach, or explore the marsh; there’s thousands of species to observe.
Snap photos of any plant, animal, insect, mushroom, or other living creature on Assateague Island and log your observation using the iNaturalist app. You’re helping contribute to a larger biodiversity database for the National Seashore by participating!
A limited number of special programs will be offered in both districts of the park dedicated to this project as well.
No sign-up required, just get out there and ID! All species identified within the park during this event will be added to our 2025 BioBlitz project and results will be published after the event concludes.
As cell service is limited on the island, it is recommended to download the iNaturalist app and create an account prior to arriving to the park.
