Idlewild Park Bioblitz, Reno, NV

Help us take a mid-summer snapshot of the biodiversity found in Idlewild Park! Experts specializing in insects, birds, plants, mammals, and reptiles will be exploring the park with a goal of identifying as many species as possible, and they need your help.

You can join groups looking for particular species in Idlewild between 9 AM - 2 PM on July 24, or you can venture through Idlewild any time on July 24 to find flora and fauna on your own. All the data collected will help us gain a better understanding of biodiversity in Reno! For more information about survey groups, visit: http://www.tmparksfoundation.org/#!blank-3/wt6xa

The bioblitz is FREE and open to ALL ages, so take advantage of this opportunity to get outside and enjoy and one of our premiere Reno parks. As an Artown event, the bioblitz will also include plenty of engaging nature-based art projects that encourage learning about the natural world.
