Bioblitz

Help us record the plants, animals, and fungi species on 1800-acres of Wildlife Prairie Park on April 26, 2026. Let’s celebrate Earth Day by making as many observations as we can in one day to catalog the biodiversity of WPP.

Starting at 10 a.m., come learn about iNaturalist and put it into action by making observations on a hike.

Can't make the 10 a.m. program, stop by Forest Hall Education Center to meet with a WPP Naturalist to learn about iNaturalist, the Bioblitz, our ongoing Biodiversity Project, and how you can volunteer to join. 

Activity: 10 a.m. iNaturalist presentation (20 minutes) and put it into action on a short hike (20-30 minutes) with knowledgable WPP Naturalists.
