Get ready to explore the hidden wonders of Hellyer County Park with fellow nature enthusiasts at the BioBlitz event! A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get an overall count of the plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms that live in a place. The space we will be at is a safe haven for many species of plants and animals right along Coyote Creek. Join Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and partners in cataloging and documenting all of the wildlife that reside there. We will have experts in various fields to help guide participants through all the cool plants and wildlife. The best part? All you need to participate is a smart phone with the iNaturalist app! So bring your family and prepare for an in-depth tour of this unique space. Community service hours available Can't join but still want to show your support? Consider making a donation via PayPal or Venmo. Hosted by Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful, BioBlitz Club, and POST. Additional partner Green Foothills. Registrants will be added to the email contact lists of each organization to receive their monthly e-newsletter. You may unsubscribe at anytime.
