For the 2022 urban BioBlitz I explored the Burlington Waterfront. I had a great time using iNaturalist to identify the specie that inhabited the waterfront, or were solely visiting for the time that I was present. Unfortunately, I did not record as many species as I hoped I would, nevertheless, I discovered the notable species included the Gray Squirrel, American Robin, and Eastern Pine. It was really fulfilling to see that this was done all over the world and being able to see the diversity among all kinds of cities was truly inspiring. This event connected people, which although may be cliche, provided a wider understanding/view of our Earth’s biodiversity.
