    Description

    Alum Rock Park BioBlitz

    Get ready to explore the hidden wonders of Alum Rock with fellow nature enthusiasts at the BioBlitz event!

    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. At a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get an overall count of the plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms that live in a place.

    Located in the heart of San Jose, the park we will be at is a safe haven for many species of plants and animals right along Coyote Creek. Join Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and partners in cataloging and documenting all of the wildlife that reside there. We will have experts in various fields to help guide participants through all the cool plants and wildlife.

    The best part? All you need to participate is a smart phone with the iNaturalist app!

    So bring your family and prepare for an in-depth tour of this great park.
