SUMMARY:Self-Led Biodiversity Bashes
DESCRIPTION:Initiate your own exploration of the great outdoors at one of our preserves\, open from dawn to dusk. Some preserves are only open six days a week (one day reserved for rest; please check the website before you visit). \nOnce you upload your photo discovery to iNaturalist\, it will automatically appear in our “project\,” which allows Natural Lands staff\, volunteers\, and scientists to see what species are present at our preserved open spaces. This will further educate future land management practices\, and augment our knowledge of the rich biodiversity living at these special places. \nThis initiative will last throughout the month of September\, but that doesn’t mean community science comes to an end. Any time you are visiting our preserves\, you are welcome to take as many photographs as you would like and submit them to iNaturalist. \nWe ask that you do not harm any of the flora\, fauna\, or funga that you encounter or study on these Biodiversity Bashes. Please practice the Leave No Trace policy and only take photos as souvenirs. We also ask that you remain on-trail at all times\, and do not enter sensitive habitat areas.
