Nearly 5,000 observers and 45,000 observations! 2024 Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz, held by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) in partnership with The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation, showed the power of teamwork across the country. Let's GroMoreGood, together.
This past September, nearly 100 organizations — from zoos and museums to local and state parks departments — came together to observe and document the incredible species for our sixth annual Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz. With events held across 35 states, from Arizona to New York, the impact was felt nationwide. 4,850 observers made 44,972 observations, documenting 5,685 species of flora and fauna. Those who hosted a BioBlitz event in September had the chance to win one of three $1,000 prizes or one of three Scotts Miracle-Gro prize packs, to help with pollinator habitats or programs. Congratulations to City of Taylor Parks and Recreation Department, Texas, Phoenixville Borough, Pennsylvania, Raritan Township Environmental Commission and Green Team, New Jersey, City of Doral Parks and Recreation, Florida, Crawford County Conservation District of Kansas, and Cedar Hill Parks and Recreation, Texas.
