We will have a Master Naturalist, a birder, and a biologist at each site. No registration necessary. Just come and explore the site and see what you can find. On-site experts will help you identify birds and wildflowers. It's sort of a bioblitz-style event. With families exploring on their own, we can maintain better social distance.
