The annual Pink Beds BioBlitz is an event organized by the Cradle of Forestry.  This year’s BioBlitz is scheduled for Saturday June 16th, from 1-4 pm.  The objective is to identify as many species of flora and fauna as possible in a designated amount of time in a defined area of the Pink Beds valley.  Our team of citizen scientists will use the iNaturalist tool to take photos and record observations of every species that we find.  This is a fun way to enjoy one of our unique mountain ecosystems.
