Do you know that April is the Earth month? Would you like to be a citizen scientist and celebrate the Earth month with Longwood BioBlitz? Come explore the biodiversity at Lancer park-find, identify and record species. Learn about local wildlife and natural history while you work with experienced naturalists. Bring your smart phone and report your own findings/pictures at Longwood BioBlitz iNaturalist project https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/longwood-bioblitz
The Environmental Educational Center at Lancer Park will be “BioBlitz central.” You will be able to find and learn about local wildlife, help collect data on local biodiversity, and participate in several other activities such as a scavenger hunt, and bird watching. At “touch tables”, you can get close encounters with local animals and plants, and materials for teachers will be available. In addition, there will be a large floor map of Virginia that children can explore by walking and use of manipulatives.
All events are free and open to anyone interested in exploring outdoors. Bring your family, friends and neighbors!
