Del Puerto Canyon Bioblitz: August 31st, 2024 (Free)

Join us on August 31st, 2024 for a bioblitz in Del Puerto Canyon.  A bioblitz is a where people gather together to make detailed observations of the plants and animals they find in an area and then upload them to public databases like iNaturalist.  They provide valuable information for scientists and conservationists, as well as helping to raise public awareness about the biodiversity that exists here.  Del Puerto Canyon Road has a public right-of-way that includes portions of the roadsides, the areas we will be concentrating on. (reference for right-of-way: https://www.stancounty.com/planning/pl/gp/gp-chapter2.pdf, 2-15)  We will not be crossing fences or posted boundaries.  If we come across major piles of trash, we will also note where those items are for cleanup teams to deal with later/notifying relevant county contacts to pick up.  Click "show more" for meeting details, the iNaturalist app download link, and iNaturalist tutorials.

Initial meetup: 10am at 3300 Del…
