New Zealand EcoBlitz events are BioBlitz-type events for secondary schools that focus on the collection of ecological data using standard sampling and monitoring methods. Our focus is less on making a big species list and more on creating a dataset that can be used for monitoring changes in the diversity and abundance of species.

Our first EcoBlitz event ran in the Nina Valley of the South Island's Lewis Pass in March 2014 with secondary school students and teachers from throughout Canterbury and Westland. For more information, see http://ninavalleyecoblitz.com/

We use this NatureWatch account to upload all observations made during EcoBlitz events that are not associated with individuals who are already active NatureWatch NZ users.
