Please join Cassie Jones, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, landscape architects from OLIN, and ecologists from Symbiotic Ecological for a BioBlitz and nature craft along the Delaware River on October 12th!

To kick off the next phase of design of an ecologically-focused “Wetland Park” from Pier 70 to Pier 64, the team is looking to crowd-source the identification of as many aquatic and terrestrial plant and animal species as possible within the project area. That’s what a BioBlitz is all about! Where: Meet at Pier 68 (Pier 70 Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19148)

We will be using iNaturalist to log everything that is found during the BioBlitz. Visit the iNaturalist Project page and to download the app.

The project wouldn’t be possible without the support of NFWF, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Delaware Watershed
