BioBlitz at Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge - July 25, 2015

Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge and Nerds for Nature are hosting their first ever Bioblitz! Join us as we try to document every living thing on the Stamm Unit of the refuge.

What is a Bioblitz?

A Bioblitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location, bringing scientists and volunteer citizen-scientists together. We’ll look for birds, mammals, reptiles, butterflies, insects, spiders, trees, flowers, mushrooms, even slime molds! Using your smart phone, you will take pictures of every living thing you see. We’ll wrap up at the Antioch Library where we will enjoy light refreshments, upload our findings onto iNaturalist, share our photos, and help identify the species.

When is it?

July 25, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

What do I need to bring to participate?

Bring your smart phone for sure and a water bottle. It can get pretty hot in Antioch in July!

How can I participate?

Due to the endangered species on the refuge, only those 12 years and up can participate. You can register at http://www.inaturalist.org/projects/antioch-dunes-national-wildlife-refu.... More information including the schedule and and driving directions is available on this site.
