Looking for the 2016 McLaren Bioblitz? Here it is!

Biodiversity in the city? You bet! Bring your Tricorder, er, smart phone, and help catalogue the natural wonders of an urban park!

Nature Nerds, scientists, and amateur naturalists will work together to find and identify as many different species as possible within McLaren Park – everything from ants to redwood trees (called a ‘bioblitz’). We’ll break the park up into zones and even encourage some friendly zone-to-zone competition. Bring yourself or a group of friends! We have 300 acres to explore.

We'll be using the iNaturalist app and helping the fine folks of Save McLaren Park document the many plants and critters that live here! Get a preview some of the cool stuff we might find.
We'll start with a picnic and orientation, then hit the blitz, then wrap it up and show off the results, find out who saw the most different kinds of critters, and, yes, hand out some prizes! menos ↑
