At the Bioblitz you’ll have a chance to become a scientist for the day and experience the adventure of discovering nature! BioBlitz is a collaborative event where participants work together to identify and record as many species of plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms as possible in a specific area. We’ll have expert naturalists helping adults and families discover pond life, catch butterflies, spot wildflowers, identify birds, and discover insects. You can check out supplies like binoculars, magnifying glasses, and bug boxes to explore independently or participate in guided sessions at scheduled times. We’ll also have educational opportunities for families and adults looking to learn more about native wildlife.
