Free Event, Rain or shine!

Come join us for the first BioBlitz at the Lorimer Preserve! Help our experts observe and record flora and fauna species observed during our themed one-hour walks around the Preserve.

A “BioBlitz” is a snap shot survey technique used by scientists in the field to quickly assess an environments health. We will record our findings using the iNaturalist mobile app. There will be environmental experts to guide participants on each themed walk. Our findings will influence how OLC Preserves are managed in the future.

Citizen Science is a great way to Learn About and Give Back to the natural environment. No experience or registration required and all ages welcome.

We recommend you down load the iNaturalist mobile app on your phone before our walks.
