Question 1

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Bring your curiosity and a phone with the iNaturalist app installed and an account made! Beyond that, dress comfortably, pack some extra layers (it can be windy!), and bring anything else you might need to be comfortable outside exploring for a couple hours (e.g., water bottle, backpack, hat, etc.).

Question 2

What is iNaturalist?

Accepted Answer

iNaturalist is a global community and research platform (app and website) for people to record, identify, and share biodiversity observations. Users upload photos or sound recordings of plants, animals, and other organisms, which then contribute to a large database used for science and conservation.

Question 3

Where should I park?

Accepted Answer

The best place to park is the UMass Boston Quad Lot. Parking is $10 for the day, payable with the Passport Parking App. The West Garage is also available and offers other options for payment.

Question 4

Can I take the T?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Take the redline to JFK/UMass stop and then get on the free shuttle to UMass Boston. Take the shuttle to Campus Center, cross through the building and go up one level and you will exit the other side on the quad.

Question 5

How accessible is this event?

Accepted Answer

Much of the UMass Boston campus is accessible with paved paths and nearby bathrooms. You'll get to choose where you'd like to go and how far you'd like to travel for the bioblitz, and many of our groups will be heading out to accessible locations.
