    Some specific station offering notes:

    There is a 3-hour plant ID walk option for the afternoon session which will last the entire session. This is a great option if you're looking to delve deep into plant ID and better your skills while learning from some really knowledgeable plant experts! 

    There is also the "independent surveying" option to go out and explore and capture observations through iNaturalist on your own!

    Collective Art Project: Drop-in to the Nature Center at any time throughout the day to join artist Lilly Crawford in creating a collaborative 3D paper-engineered map of the park. Lilly invites Bioblitz participants to add writing and images to her collapsible paper map capturing plant and animal features from Shingle Creek Falls to the picnic area, and help bring about a full expression of the park.
