This is citizen science at it's best! A family-friendly 2-day event, join us for a 'nature-palooza' as we explore Hoyt's Landing (where the Black River meets the CT River) and Muckross State Park. Join the project at iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/2019-black-river-bioblitz) so you can photograph everything from mushrooms to mammals, fish to flowers, turtles to trees. We'll build an online inventory of the flora and fauna of these two locations, so we can learn more about the ecosystem, the watershed, and how to take good care of both. We're even planning a nocturnal session, to enjoy the "nightlife"!

Leave the dog at home, please, but pack a snack, a walking stick, and don't forget your camera or smartphone! We'll teach you how to use iNaturalist and to upload your photos; your best images will be identified by scientists from around the world, helping with research projects far beyond BioBlitz.

While this event is FREE, donations are warmly welcomed to offset event costs. Your $10 donation will net you a cool BioBlitz button and a BRAT cinch sack.
