Nerds For Nature’s 2016 Bio-Blitz Scavenger Hunt | McLaren Park

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Come out on National Citizen Science Day for an amazing bioblitz at McLaren Park in San Francisco on April 16, 2016.

Free, but an RSVP is required.

Nature nerds, scientists, and amateur naturalists will work together to find and identify as many different species as possible within McLaren Park – everything from ants to redwood trees (called a ‘bioblitz’).

And now they’re back to search for wildlife in SF’s second-largest city park. Bring your smartphone or a camera, your curiosity, and tons of enthusiasm. They’ll rally some experts and folks who know the area. Together we’ll make some science.

A Bioblitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location, bringing scientists and volunteer citizen-scientists together. Together, we’ll look for snails, birds, mammals, frogs, butterflies, other insects, spiders, trees, worms, flowers, and everything else we can find.
