Fall Baylands Bioblitz

Join the Environmental Volunteers, in partnership with Nuestra Casa, for a Fall BioBlitz in the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve and Byxbee Park. Fall is a wonderful time for migrating birds, and our waterways will be full of interesting critters. Join us to learn about some of our native and non-native species, become a community scientist and help us collect scientific data. As part of the Horizontal Levee project in the Palo Alto Baylands, we’ll be building a crucial diversity database to help track changes over time.

Please bring a digital camera or smartphone. Download the free iNaturalist smartphone app prior to the program and create a free account prior to the event. Instructions on the Bioblitz and how to join the 2025 project will be sent prior to event, and will also be available a printed guide for the day of. You can view our past BioBlitz findings for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Help us document the biodiversity of this great preserve. We will have families check in at the EcoCenter and then embark to record as many plants and animals as possible. Volunteers will be on site to take small groups/families who would like to learn more about plants, insects, birds, or how to use iNaturalist. Download the app on your smartphone, and join the Fall 2025 Project, in advance if at all possible (details will be sent to you in advance). Advance registration is requested.
