Join the Anacostia Watershed Society and Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission for the 10th Annual Anacostia River BioBlitz!
Throughout the day, we will have local experts lead guided hikes to look for species while also hosting a number of organizations who will be providing information on their programs and local flora and fauna. This is a free, family-friendly event.
Some highlights include:
- Seining for aquatic invertebrates, fish, and more with a naturalist
- Kayaking along the lake
- Guided fungi, insect, and nature hikes
- Exhibits from the Prince George’s Audubon Society, MD Dept of Natural Resources, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Nature Forward, and more!
The public BioBlitz event will run on Saturday September 12th from 12:00-4:00 pm ET at Lake Artemesia Park. However, we hope folks will continue to make observations on iNaturalist during the full event which will occur from September 11-14th, 2026.
