Come one, come all to explore Kelleys Island's biodiveristy!

Earth Day 2020 will be the backdrop for an exploration of the bioidiversity of Kelleys Island through a BioBlitz.

What's a BioBlitz? A BioBlitz is a rapid assessment of species living in an area and can document the biodiversity in an area. This is the 5th year that a BioBlitz has been held on Kelleys Island and we are building a database of species. Check out our latest tallies on the BioBlitz Data page!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! A BioBlitz needs volunteers to gather data by collecting samples and identifying species. We will have experts to help with the finer points of species identification.
