Let's celebrate World Salamander Day and look for salamanders, snakes, spiders and slugs! AND do science at the same time!
Join our educator Lance for our spring bioblitz in the forest at our facility in Castro Valley!
A bioblitz is a short, focused community effort to document as many species as possible in this important wildlife corridor. We will observe and record plants, insects, birds, fungi, and other wildlife using iNaturalist, which allows the observations to contribute to real scientific databases creating a worldwide map of biodiversity.
Bioblitzes are valuable because they help scientists and land stewards better understand local biodiversity. The data collected can reveal what species are present, identify rare or invasive species, track seasonal changes, and contribute to long-term conservation research. Even small areas can hold surprising ecological richness, and documenting that diversity adds meaningful information to broader environmental studies.
Be prepared to walk on uneven ground, squat and be on your feet for a few hours. There would be no collecting, digging, or disturbance to the land.
This event is limited to 12 people. You'll receive an email before the event with the location and guidelines to prepare for the day. Excited to explore nature with you!
