About this Event
Join us for a fun, hands‑on Bioblitz Bingo event as part of the City Nature Challenge! We will explore the beautiful natural area behind the museum and make observations using iNaturalist. Each family or group will receive a bingo card featuring different plants, animals, and fungi to look for as you explore. Quinten Wiegersma, a knowledgeable naturalist will be on site to help with identifications and answer all your burning nature questions. Bring your curiosity and sense of adventure!
We will meet at the parking lot of the Museum of Ontario Archaeology, 1600 Attawandaron Rd. London Ontario, N6G 3M6.
Please download iNaturalist and create your free account in advance. If you would like help getting started with iNaturalist then arrive 15 minutes early and an iNaturalist Ambassador will be there to teach you how to make observations.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. This event will be on uneven terrain and is not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
All ages are welcome!
