[PDF] BioBlitz Report
Alexandra de Jong Westman, ElknWillow Environmental Consulting and Yukon Conservation Society
The Middle McIntyre Creek region, as an extension of the Porter Creek subdivision is an area of interest for both the biological values and development potential of the area. In 2015, YCS hosted our first McIntyre Creek BioBlitz to collect vital data about the ecosystem. A bioblitz is a period of intense and concentrated biological survey. During a bioblitz, participants are led by professional biologists, specializing in mammals, birds, plants, terrestrial and aquatic insects, and fish to survey a number of habitat or landscape areas. This is a form of citizen science which helps in park planning and city planning process.
