Prescott Farm Habitat BioBlitz

A collaborative, free family-friendly event where community members work together to identify as many species of plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms as possible at Prescott Farm in one day. These events function as a "snapshot" of local biodiversity, helping to map species and inform conservation efforts.

We will be exploring the different habitats, as identified in our Forest Management Plan, that Prescott Farm has to offer and then identifying as many species as possible within that habitat. The habitats we will be looking at on our property are: Fields, Forest, and Wetland.

To do this we will use iNaturalist and take photos of everything we see. After each session, we will upload them all to iNaturalist at one time as a group. Prior experience using iNaturalist is not required. We will also be hosting a training during this event.

The event is from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. You can come whenever and stay as long as you want. Here is the tentative schedule, if you want to attend for a specific habitat type.

• 8:00 - 10:30 am: Field habitat
