Teton County BioBlitz June 8 - June 11
What is the Northern Rocky Mountain Biodiversity Challenge (NRMBC)?
The NRMBC is a free, tri-annual, crowd-sourced, 4 day collaboration known as a bioblitz. Goals are:
- Get people outside and show them how easy it is to use a smart device and app to identify organisms by simply taking a photo.
- Help connect people to nature, and encourage an appreciation for the biodiversity in their ecosystem/ecoregion.
- Find and record as many WILD animals, plants, fungi and other species as possible in 4 days (Thursday – Sunday).
- Help connect people to each other: build community in person & online.
- Help develop citizen scientists who can collect biodiversity data, which then can be used for scientific research, management, and conservation.
- Have fun through some friendly competition!
Teton County WON the Spring challenge by having the highest participation per capita.

Hi @whitneybrook,
sorry - just left going back to Canada. Had a great week in your back yard and thanks a lot for the help with id-ing plants!
Cheers Peter @pneuch
Thanks Peter! Safe travels. Say hi to the amazing network of iNatters in Canada for us. The folks in Alberta do a lot of IDs for this area.
Thanks @whitneybrook for letting me know about this challenge. Great fun to have other people to help verify observations!
Thank you, I wish I could be there in person! I’ll try to participate as an identifier. I was a visitor in May and while away on the trip to Colorado and Wyoming was able to take 4800+ pictures, and haven’t posted all of them in iNaturalist yet. So many are wonderful scenery and family, but hoping I have helped with the resources records.
