The Stanley Park Ecology Society is hosting one of the five flagship BioBlitzes in Canada. During a BioBlitz, groups of scientist and naturalists come together to record all living species within a designated area. The goals of BioBlitz includes getting the public interested in biodiversity, learning about endangered species, and using the results to plan for future actions.
The Stanley Park BioBlitz will be taking place on August 12th-13th. There are 3 different volunteer opportunities available to students. The Survey Assistant position gives students the opportunity to assist a scientist in a survey and network with them at the event. The Festival Crew position includes a lot of interaction with the public and providing information about the event. The IT position includes helping set up cameras and with the process of interviewing selected scientists.
