Sagehen BioBlitz!
Come help us document life in the Sagehen Creek Basin!
The goal of this citizen science project is to confirm the Field Station's plant and animal lists with actual, geo-referenced observations for use by the greater scientific community. So far, we have only documented 399 of 1366 taxa assumed to exist in the Basin. Using smart phones and cameras, volunteers accompanied by a California Naturalist will work together to find and identify as many different species as possible within Sagehen Creek Basin – everything from ants to Lodgepole Pines. Our observations will be recorded using iNaturalist.org.
