SUMMARY:Celebrate California Biodiversity Days at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area
DESCRIPTION:Shasta Environmental Alliance is pleased to host its 3rd annual BioBlitz event to celebrate California Biodiversity Days. Join SEA Board Member Juliet Malik and fellow California Naturalist Holly White-Wolfe at Whiskeytown for a day observing and documenting the many plants\, fungi\, animals\, and insects that call this national recreation area home via an iNaturalist BioBlitz. \nWe welcome people of all ages to come out and help us reach a goal of finding at least 30 species in honor of California’s 30×30 initiative to conserve 30% of California lands and coastal waters by 2030 through collaborative action. Have fun learning how to identify the life around you while helping to steward and protect California biodiversity!  \nBy joining this challenge you are participating in citizen science\, and observations you make in our region will be counted towards a state-wide goal of mapping at least 30 species. Your observations are applied to understand biodiversity\, track its changes over time\, and direct conservation actions.  \nExpect to walk at least 2 miles. Wear hiking shoes\, a hat\, and sunscreen\, and bring plenty of water and a lunch for after. The trail is rated as moderate\, has a steady incline and the terrain is uneven. We will return to the picnic area near the trailhead by 11:30 for a lunch break and group discussion of what we observed and were able to identify.  \nPlease no dogs except service dogs on a leash–this helps us better observe living creatures. \nPrepare for the event: \n\nREQUIRED: Register for the event and sign the waiver form here. (Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.)\nDownload the app on your phone and click “Join” to sign up for free. Start here\nFamiliarize yourself with how it works. Check out this page for tutorials.\nJoin the  CA Biodiversity Week Challenge 2025 so that all your observations will be included in the project.\nWe’ll submit nature observations during our event and discuss how to upload them later.\nOptional: a camera with a telephoto lens for capturing birds\n\nLearn more about California Biodiversity Week events here.  \nAny questions?
