Come at 9:00am to join volunteer naturalist and bird expert Joey Kellner of the Audubon Society for a guided bird walk, or show up any time between 9:00am and 3:00pm to help us record as much nature as we can before the bioblitz ends! The Platte River Parking Lot is located on the east side of the South Platte River near the concrete restrooms. The park road on the west side is closed for construction, please enter from the east side of the park.

Bluff Lake Nature Center Family Nature Day
Saturday, April 28    8:00am-10:00am    3400 Havana Way, Denver
Come to this family friendly event geared towards kids at the Bluff Lake Nature Center! Kids can borrow Adventure Backpacks filled with the essential gear to record and observe nature, meet some real live raptors and birds handled by Nature's Educators, make their own all-natural bird-feeders at the craft station, and practice using spotting scopes and guide books with bird specialists!

If you can't attend an event, head out on your own, or with a group of friends, to make observations anywhere in the Denver area! Biodiversity is all around us, you just have to look for it!
