Celebrate Creek Week with a biothon at White Pines Preserve!
A biothon is a rapid biological inventory of the species in a given area in a short period of time. Participate in this community science project by recording as much flora and fauna as you can find on the iNaturalist “Plants and Wildlife of White Pines Nature Preserve,” group. Finish off a week of self-led discovery with this guided hike at White Pines, focused on a group discovery of the many species at the confluence of the Deep and Rocky Rivers.
We’ll start off with a quick iNaturalist tutorial and some information on the basics of plant ID. Using the iNaturalist ID tool and the plant ID skills of TLC staff & the group we’ll work together to explore and identify the many species that contribute to the rich biodiversity of White Pines Nature Preserve.
Register for the 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. guided hike here:
