In celebration of Jasper Dark Sky Festival, we invite you to participate in the WISEST BioBlitz!

Anyone can participate as long as you have a smartphone. The goal of this bioblitz is to record as many observations of living things in Jasper National Park during the month of October. So if you’re heading out on a hike, or going for a leisurely stroll around town, take some photos of plants, insects, animals, fungi that you come across and log them into the iNaturalist app in the WISEST bioblitz project!

Did you know that integrating community science projects like this one can help to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for curious young minds? WISEST is all about trying to make sure that young girls and gender diverse students know that they have a place in STEM. Find more information here.

This event is happening daily.
