On September 25, MYNOTL shared NC’s release about Niagara’s Fall Cleanup / Bioblitz taking place from September 25 to October 4.
The release notes that NC’s Office of Sustainability decided to shift the annual fall event online to protect participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the event has branched out to a weeklong, region-wide activity for 2020, with help from new co-hosts including the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) and Brock University, along with supporters Swim Drink Fish and the Niagara Coastal Community.
Participants, who are welcome to join in at any time during the week, are encouraged to walk around their neighbourhoods, pick up litter, record their findings and take plenty of photos to post for the event’s social media channels, and to help Swim Drink Fish monitor Niagara’s waterways. Participants can also survey and log species they encounter along the way as part of the bioblitz component.
