A BioBlitz is a short-term event where NPS staff, professional scientists, and citizen scientists work together to find and identify as many different species within a park as possible using scientific methods. This plan provides a step-by-step guide for planning and conducting a BioBlitz event in a small- to medium-size NPS unit that: 1) focuses on a few, under-studied taxa groups or habitats; 2) accommodates 20-40 volunteers per event; and 3) requires minimal park staff involvement and funding per event.
