Bioblitz 2017 (Houston, BC)
May 26, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - May 27, 2017 @ 6:00 pm EDT
164 species in 24 hours…Can we top that?
That’s how many plants and animals A Rocha staff and volunteers counted in the Houston area in Bioblitz 2016. Can we beat that number this year? Join local experts and citizen scientists to count as many plant and animal species in the Houston area as we can in a 24 hour period.
We will go rain or shine so dress for the weather. Bring a snack, your eagle eyes and curiosity (and binoculars, cameras, and nature id books if you have them.) Ipad/ipod/cell phone are welcome if you download the free iNaturalist app, create a profile and join the Houston, BC Bioblitz 2017 project before you come!
