Keep the momentum going with the National Lake Blitz!
If you loved this challenge, the National Lake Blitz is a fun and easy way to stay involved. As a Lake Biodiversity Steward, all you need to do is visit your favorite lake and snap photos of any wildlife or plants you see and upload them to our iNaturalist project. No science background or special equipment needed!
Your observations help track seasonal changes and support lake conservation efforts across Canada. It’s the perfect entry point for becoming a citizen scientist and a freshwater steward in your own community. Learn more and sign up at www.LakeBlitz.LivingLakesCanada.ca
