This Saturday (June 27) there will be a BioBlitz of the Soapstone Prairie Natural Area. A BioBlitz is a friendly competition among scientists to see how many species can be recorded in an area in a 24-hour period.
Colorado Natural Heritage Program biologists Denise Culver, Renée Rondeau and Jeremy Siemers will be leading the botany and zoology teams.
Everyone is invited to join the fun. There will be creative activity stations, family-friendly guest speakers, a chance to meet the scientists and watch the results roll in. Attendance is free, but registration is encouraged. Email naturalareas@fcgov.com or call 970-416-2815 for more information.
