It’s that time of the year when the mountain is blooming and buzzing. Join us for a closer look at the flowers and bugs of this special meadow habitat. We will photograph and identify the living things we see using iNaturalist with the goal of contributing new scientific knowledge for the long-term health of the mountain. This Bioblitz will focus on smartphone macro photography and extra tools will be available to take your observations and photos of small organisms to the next level.  Additionally, local plant and bee experts will be joining for the day. Hone your naturalist and photography skills, learn to use the iNaturalist app, and become our scientific collaborator for a day.
