Inspired by the Nature Conservancy of Canada we are inviting you to join us on the August long weekend for our very first BioBlitz at Shibagau Creek.
Come for a few hours on Saturday and/or Sunday!
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is calling for a countrywide BioBlitz on the August long weekend and we invite you to participate with us.
"It is the NCC's intention to unite thousands of people across Canada in a collective community effort to celebrate and document the diverse species across our beautiful country. Bioblitzes are a community-led gathering of information about species in a certain area held over a certain length of time. These community science events have led to the documentation of rare or endangered species in many countries, including Canada. Our collective observations can grow our knowledge of native species’ distributions and help conservationists target areas to eradicate invasive species. These efforts may help conservation efforts to restore the balance and health of our local ecosystems. By documenting the natural world and sharing these observations to a global database, anyone can give back to nature."NCC BioBlitz Call
It is our intention at Shibagau Creek to learn more about who and what inhabits the land and celebrate all that we encounter.
- Pick your species be it flora, fauna or both and wander the 100 acre property noting what you see, take pictures to later upload for the Nature Conservancy using iNaturalist and enjoy the peace, quiet and beauty of all that’s around.
- Bring friends looking for a fun and easy way to support nature this August long weekend.
Please come for a few hours on Saturday and/or Sunday.
We can’t wait to hear/see what we all discover.
Please fill out the Registration Form
to let us know when you will join us.

The Shibagau Forest Farmstead is situated within the unceded traditional territories of the Algonquin Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Wendake peoples who are the original owners and custodians of these lands on which we are honored to gather.
