2019 Wildcat Hills Bioblitz!
July 19, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - July 20, 2019 @ 6:00 pm MDT
Join us during our third annual Wildcat Hills Bioblitz as we discover the biodiversity of Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area!
A Bioblitz is an event that brings together natural resource experts, community volunteers, and members of the public to inventory as many species (plants, mammals, birds, insects, fungi, etc.) as we can find in a specific area, over a specific time period. If you’re interested in learning more about the Wildcat Hills’ natural resources while helping contribute valuable scientific data to the park, this is the place to be!
