Sagehen Creek Field Station Waiver - Please print, sign, and bring to the bioblitz

Join TINS staff and others as we document life in the Sagehen Basin during a morning bioblitz! A bioblitz is a detailed study of biodiversity in a specific location over a specific period of time, bringing volunteers and experts together.

Naturalists of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Just bring your smartphone or camera, and your enthusiasm, and together we will look for birds, mammals, insects, spiders, and wildflowers.

If you want to use the iNaturalist application on your phone, please be sure to download it prior to arrival. However, we personally prefer to upload images to iNaturalist from a camera later using the web interface and a computer, so be aware that also is an option.

Practice with making iNaturalist observations beforehand is recommended but not required.

Plan on reconvening at noon for lunch and a quick taxonomic tally. We also will have an optional afternoon session for those that want to spend a full day exploring, and we may even conduct insect light-trapping at the field station for a few hours the previous evening.

We will be sending more information out via email the week of the blitz, but if you have any questions in the meantime, you can contact Will Richardson
