Wolf Creek BioBlitz

Come join us to help catalogue the natural wonders of a beautiful and endangered place on top of Wolf Creek Pass. With your help, we will conduct an intensive, one-day study of biodiversity (called a BioBlitz). Together, we will discover, photograph, and identify as many organisms as possible. We will look for birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies insects, spiders, trees, flowers, mushrooms and more! You will have a unique opportunity to spend the morning in a beautiful place and work alongside experts to discover, document and learn about the flora and fauna on Wolf Creek Pass. You will also help Rocky Mountain Wild and our partners protect the unique wildlife and plants that live in this scenic natural area and contribute to a national database of species observations.

Wolf Creek Pass straddles the Continental Divide between two of the largest intact wilderness areas in the Southern Rockies – the Weminuche and South San Juan wildernesses. Wolf Creek Pass is an important wildlife linkage that is heavily used by Canada lynx moving between different core habitat areas to find food, den sites and mates, and by young lynx dispersing to new territories. This beautiful natural area is also important habitat for a diversity of wildlife and plants. Rocky Mountain Wild is part of a large coalition of conservation organizations working to conserve this area, which is currently threatened by a proposed year round resort development housing up to 8,000 people. less ↑
