This year’s programs will offer a “Bioblitz” at each site, focusing on helping to build a species profile that can be used in future educational programs.
Participants will find and identify as many species in the given category as they can during each program, using collecting tools like nets and ID aids such as keys, guidebooks, and apps.
All materials and instruction are provided. All ages and abilities are welcome. Programs are free of charge and no registration is required.
