More on the Bioblitz: A BioBlitz is a day where participants try to find and document as many living things as possible at a site including plants, insects, mammals, amphibians, fungi, etc. We will be identifying and documenting our findings using the iNaturalist platform, which is available as an app on your phone or tablet. Please email Racheal Stenger for instructions about downloading and using iNaturalist.
The BioBlitz event will go all day, and there will be a guided hike around 11 a.m. Please fill out this interest form if you’d like to participate.
We hope to see you there,
DNR Division of Forestry Staff
