Thanks to the 65 folks who gathered on September 14 at Minnehaha Regional Park!
That day's BioBlitz yielded 667 observations and identified 276 different species.
Now it's your turn! Join us Saturday to document biodiversity in Theodore Wirth Regional Park - or on October 12 at North Mississippi Regional Park.
What's a BioBlitz?
-
Join friends, neighbors and others (you don't have to be a scientist!)
-

-
Collaborate with local experts and naturalists from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB)
-
Identify as many plants, animals, and organisms as possible
-
Use microscopes, magnifying glasses, binoculars and other provided tools
-
Create a snapshot of the variety of life at a specific place and point in time
-
Contribute valuable data for scientists and researchers

All ages are welcome - youth under 14 must be accompanied by an adult
