Baylands Bioblitz with Environmental Volunteers

Join the City of Palo Alto and the Environmental Volunteers Saturday October 1, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. for an exciting citizen science bioblitz at the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve! A bioblitz is simply a snapshot of the plants and animals found at a given location during a point in time.

Attendees will record all the living things that are located using the iNaturalist app, and Environmental Volunteers educators will be present to help you learn about what you find! The data collected will inform the City’s Horizontal Levee Pilot Project, which will study how habitat restoration and green infrastructure may be used in Palo Alto and the greater Bay Area as a method of shoreline protection in the face of future sea level rise.

Note: All participants must wear a face mask and sign a waiver of liability. Baylands trails are wheelchair accessible.
