Holly BioBlitz
April 27 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us this Saturday, April 27th from 9AM – 1PM for the second annual Holly BioBlitz event, coinciding with the City Nature Challenge! This event will be a collaboration between local experts and community members to create a comprehensive list of the site’s existing biodiversity. You can sign up for a shift here.
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!
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 location, 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 help ensure that the existing biodiversity is protected and that restoration actions improve biodiversity.
