Can't believe the City Nature Challenge is just around the corner! Yayyyyyyyyy for all these surveys!
Sam if you can email newsletter@ctmn.org I can put these in the Cross Timbers Master Naturalist newsletter.
I can't wait for the City Nature Challenge! I finally have a job where I'll be off for the weekend! Also will try to come to the Bioblitz at Benbrook this weekend
I'm interested in the blacklighting at LLELA. Is there a time and a place to meet yet? Thanks!
Trying to find out some more info about the LLELA black-lighting -- will post again soon! And I'll also toss in details for the South Dallas bioblitz on April 6.
Just tossed the details for LLELA and the Post Oak Dallas bioblitz on the above post!
@mikef451 GPS coordinates for the moth event.
I might be able to do the April 26 one, but I don't know what time it starts.
*just added some times for these -- will do a separate City Nature Challenge Journal post soon!
@algraff in case you're interested in some City Nature Challenge events!
