About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Saturday, May 17th 9:00 am to 11:00 am

Join the Environmental Volunteers for a Spring BioBlitz in the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve and Byxbee Park.

Spring is a wonderful time for flowers, pollinators, as well as courting or nesting birds. Join us to learn about some of our native and non-native species, become a community scientist and help us collect scientific data. As part of the Horizontal Levee project in the Palo Alto Baylands, we'll be building a crucial diversity database to help track changes over time.

Please bring a digital camera or smartphone. Download the free iNaturalist smartphone app prior to the program and create a free account prior to the event and join the 2025 Project. A printed guide will also be avaialble the day of.

We will have families check in at the EcoCenter and then embark to record as many plants and animals as possible. Volunteers will be on site to take small groups/families who would like to learn more about plants, insects, birds, or how to use iNaturalist.
