Princeton Battlefield Bioblitz 2026
2026-08-01 - 2026-08-31 | Princeton Battlefield State Park, 500 Mercer Rd, Princeton, NJ, 08540, United States
We’re hosting a Bioblitz at the historic Princeton Battlefield! This is going to be part of a multi-year project tracking the biodiversity of the Battlefield before, during, and after the ecological upgrades* taking place! We need as many volunteers as possible to help us gather observations of plants, animals, and bugs of all kinds! Now through August! Your observations will be catalogued and used to track changes in the ecosystem.

Hosted in partnership by Sustainable Princeton, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Princeton Battlefield Society, and the American Battlefield Trust.*The Princeton Battlefield Society is adding a large apple orchard and converting more grass lawn to meadow with native plants. There is a historical element to this project, as well as an ecological benefit! We’re using iNaturalist to catalogue and track (hopefully) increased native plants, insects, and birds with these conscious upgrades!
