SEA/CNPS Nature Walk and BioBlitz for California Biodiversity Week
September 8 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
SEA/CNPS Nature Walk and BioBlitz for California Biodiversity Week
When: Sunday, September 8th, 9 am – 11 am
Where: Nur Pon Open Space (2502 Henderson Rd, Redding, CA)
Join naturalist Juliet Malik and SEA board member Sarah Risher for a joint SEA/CNPS guided walk in this recently restored preserve to identify and document as many as possible of the species that call this place home via an iNaturalist BioBlitz. A plant list compiled by SEA president David Ledger will be provided to help guide the botany side of things but we will also be looking for fungi, birds, insects, and other animals to help us reach a goal of finding at least 30 species in honor of California’s 30×30 initiative. This is a collaborative learning event for all levels of nature knowledge and all ages are welcome. For more information contact david@ecoshasta.org.
How to participate:
- Join the event on SEA’s Meetup page and sign the waiver form. (Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.)
- Download the iNaturalist app on your mobile device, create an account, and familiarize yourself with how it works. Check out this page for tutorials.
- Join the “Find 30 Species Challenge” here so that all your observations will be included in the project.
