New Quarter Park is holding a BioBlitz on Saturday, September 22! Join us as we try to document as many plants, trees, pollinators, and wildlife living inside New Quarter Park as possible. The BioBlitz is a free full-day event from 9 am to 5 pm. Participants do not have to stay the entire time. Come to Shelter #2 to sign in and learn how to help us document wildlife on the iNaturalist (free app). All you will need for this adventure is yourself, your phone (and/or camera), and water!
