Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the Midwest showcase site for National Geographic’s BioBlitz, a 24-hour national event to find and identify as many species as possible. Citizen scientists, students, amateur naturalists, youth groups, families and individuals are encouraged to help in the counting and cataloging. Free, open to all ages. Registration not required. No dogs/pets permitted.

A free Biodiversity Festival will coincide with the event. The festival will feature hands-on science and nature exhibits from local conservation organizations, live animal demonstrations, yoga, crafts, and BioWalks with scientists.
