You bring your smart phone and tons of enthusiasm. We’ll rally some experts and folks who know the trails here. Together we’ll make some science!
This is the first grassroots bioblitzes in Palo Alto, co-sponsored by the City of Palo Alto Open Space Preserves, Nerds for Nature, and iNaturalist.
A Bio-Blitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location, bringing scientists and volunteer citizen-scientists together.
People of all ages and skill levels are welcome! We'll meet at the park's interpretive center (here's a map). Bring your smart phone for sure. Bonus: camera, binoculars, and magnifying glasses. We’ll enter observations in iNaturalist and join together at the end to find out how many observations we made and how many species we found. Past blitzes in San Francisco and San Mateo have averages 1000 observations and 200+ species each. Yahoo!
Tips for the day: Dress in layers, bring a lunch and water.
