We're really hoping our iNat community shows up on Sunday to be involved with what we expect to be a very productive bioblitz. We are depending on you guys to show new iNat users how to use the app. Please go to our announcement page to get the latest details and updates. We have links to new resources posted there: taxa list (as downloadable PDF); map of access locations where you can safely get into the creek; and suggestions for taking useful images.

We are putting this on in conjunction with Texas Parks and Wildlife's Texas Nature Tracker Program so please join their projects and share your observations with those projects as well. Doing so will greatly increase the chance of getting a reliable identification in a timely manner.

A list of those projects is here: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/wildlife_diversity/texas_nature_trackers/projects/

And please go to our communicate with us form to tell us if you are interested in future bioblitz opportunities in which we will team you up with biologists. You can let us know if you want to be on our newsletter there too.

Hello Everyone,

The Waller Creek Working Group is very excited to announce our Bioblitz event in April! We have all the details on our website , but here are some of the highlights:

Date: Sunday, April 10th
Time: 11 AM to 3 PM (although you are free to come and leave as you wish!)
Location: Clark Field at the South Pedestrian Bridge
Parking: Brazos and Trinity Garages or along San Jacinto St.

We would love participation from all ages, backgrounds and expertise! Because the Bioblitz will heavily depend on iNaturalist, it would be great if everyone could download the app beforehand and provide some insight for the attendees who are new to iNat.
If you are interested, please sign up on our Google Form and we'll see you on the 10th for a day filled with biodiversity and exploration!

Best,

The Waller Creek Working Group
