BioBlitz at Holly Shores
April 29, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Siglo Group and The Trail Conservancy are organizing Holly Shore’s first-ever BioBlitz event, and we would welcome your participation.
A BioBlitz is an event that brings experts and community members together to create a comprehensive list of an area’s existing biodiversity. During the event, participants will try to observe and report as many species as possible in a specific area, working with local experts to ID the species they see and iNaturalist.
The data collected at the Holly Shores BioBlitz will assist The Trail Conservancy in conducting restoration projects in the area moving forward. This will not only help to ensure that the existing biodiversity is protected but also that the restoration actions are improving the biodiversity.
The event will be held at Holly Shores Park from 8 am to 12 pm on Saturday, April 29th, coinciding with the 2023 City Nature Challenge.
No identifying experience is needed. Everyone is welcome.
Each hour will focus on specific categories of flora, fauna, funga, and more. Volunteer groups will be led by a local subject matter expert to help guide participants in their search and to assist in the identification of observations. Come meet other nature enthusiasts and learn more about Austin’s ecosystems! RSVP for a time slot here.
*All ages are welcome to the event. Minors (under 15) must be accompanied by an adult, parent, or guardian. Those under 13 do not need to register through POINT but must fill out the Liability and Photo Release Form
This is a RAIN or SHINE event.
