BioBlitz Program Description

Students work with scientists in the field using technology to document the species found in the meadows and forests of the park.  During the trip, students obtain, evaluate and communicate information about the interdependent relationships in ecosystems by investigating the plants and animals found in a given habitat.  The information gathered on iNaturalist may be used in the classroom to support investigations into citizen science, ecosystems and energy transfer.

Volunteers are essential to our programs!  If you have nature knowledge to share, please consider helping as a Field Expert or Event Photographer.  Please contact us for more information.  Field Experts assist students and Volunteer Naturalists with looking up, photographing, and identifying organisms found in the park.
