Families, students and nature lovers will have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn
about plants and wildlife -- and help scientists survey them -- during the Wyoming
BioBlitz.
The annual event -- hosted by the University of Wyoming Biodiversity Institute, Audubon
Rockies and Wyoming State Parks -- will take place at Seminoe State Park near Sinclair
Friday-Sunday, June 27-29.
Registration is now open and closes Monday, June 9. To register, go to the Audubon
Rockies webpage here.
During the Wyoming BioBlitz, community participants, in collaboration with expert scientists, survey an area
and document all plants and animals found over the course of a weekend. Last year’s
event took place on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The group area at Sunshine Beach Campground will be used for the event’s registration
and camping site. To view the site map, go here.
