Westside Park Bioblitz

A bioblitz is an event where people get together to document all of the plants, animals and fungi present in an area. We take photos of nature and upload it to the iNaturalist app or website. Together we will create important scientific data about Atlanta’s largest park that is accessible to everyone.

We will meet at the Birth of Atlanta sculpture. Use entrance 2 into Westside Park (through the sculpture that looks like a whale's ribs) and park in the lot close to the restrooms.

Obsevations will be posted at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/weside-park-bioblitz-march-2026
