A bioblitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record as many species within a designated location and time period as possible. Broomfield's 2018 BioBlitz will be held at Quail Creek and Plaster Reservoir all day on Friday June 15 and Saturday June 16.

Experienced naturalists and equipment to borrow will be made available to assist in app navigation and species identification on Friday 4-6 p.m. and Saturday 7-9 a.m. Learn about Broomfield's flora and fauna while trying to identify as many species as possible in this friendly competition!

This event is free to attend and no registration is needed! All ages are welcome, adult supervision is required. Please park at the Quail Creek Park lot (2202 W 138th Ave).

Broomfield held its first-ever BioBlitz at Quail Creek and Plaster Reservoir all day on Friday June 15 and Saturday June 16.

We had 16 fantastic participants attend the challenge last weekend. They made 182 observations, and found 100 different species! It is truly amazing what wonders we can find here in Broomfield. Congratulations to rwinick for making the most observations (66) and identifying the most species (54). WOW!
