On Saturday, September 13, join us for the Reston Bioblitz 2025 – a biodiversity survey to find and identify as many plant and animal species as possible in a 24 hour period.
Why: Reston has more than 1,300 acres of open space, home to a large number of species. Reston is also undergoing great change with redevelopment and densification. Help us document Reston’s biodiversity so we can improve baseline data to help in future conservation decision-making and action.
Who: Scientists, naturalists and volunteers of all experience levels
Adults (16 & older) can participate in this citizen science challenge. An iNaturalist training will be provided. We are looking for:
- Experienced iNaturalist app users.
- Digital photographers (cell phone or DSLR).
- Locals with familiarity of Reston’s natural areas and trails.
- Adults (16 & older) with an interest in citizen science.
When: Saturday, September 13, 2025
Where: Reston-wide
