Ridgefield BioBlitz 2022 at Woodcock Nature Center


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/11/2022
Come celebrate Ridgefield’s biodiversity! All ages welcome! A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. Join us as we visit different habitats and attempt to identify as many plant, animal, and fungi species that we can find. Participants will take a trail walk to Weir Pond, stopping to investigate field, forest, and aquatic habitats. Each habitat station will have activities guided by expert naturalists and scientists including insect displays, pond scooping for invertebrates, looking under logs, learning about bears, and even an art station to make your own nature journal!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
