Bioblitz at the Library: Celebrating Biodiversity
New activity
Invite your community on a walk around the library’s outdoor spaces to record observations of the plants and animals. Turn this into a community science project by submitting the observations to the free app, iNaturalist. The data will be used to inform biologists how to best protect and restore an ecosystem.
