Chattanooga BioBlitz combines the best of a festival, educational event, scientific endeavor and contest into a unique event.

Come to Chattanooga BioBlitz to observe scientists at work and take part in free programs, including a guided bird and butterfly walk and bird presentation.

Participants can enjoy interactive educational activities, as well as take home a Backyard BioBlitz guide to do their own survey. Learn about the rich biodiversity of the flora and fauna of our region and discover how to reduce the human impact on our fragile environment.
