FERNANDEZ RANCH BIOBLITZ

Saturday, April 27th


Hey nature enthusiasts! This fun, family-friendly event is your chance to explore nature, contribute to citizen science, and help us document the incredible biodiversity of Fernandez Ranch.

What's a BioBlitz? Think of it as a giant nature scavenger hunt! We'll be taking pictures of all the plants and animals we find using the free app iNaturalist. This valuable data helps scientists nationwide understand the health of our ecosystems.
