Description

BIOBLITZ!
Help Nature Up North identify the trees and animals of the forest using guidebooks, nature apps, and your own keen observation skills! The bioblitz at the Wachtmeiseter Field Station is the first in a series of 4 bioblitzes across the North Country. A bioblitz is a species scavenger hunt, a race against the clock, and a fun way to learn about the variety of life in an area. Join Nature Up North this summer to find and identify as many species as possible in these mini bioblitzes at sites around the North Country.

The event is free, and all materials and instructions are provided! I-Naturalist is a helpful app for identifying different plant species. A few tablets with this app pre-downloaded will be available, but consider giving it a try yourself!
