Ever wondered what that pretty yellow flower was on your daily walk? Or heard a lazy buzzing sound and wondered if it was a bumblebee? Spend a morning learning about the incredible creatures that live all around us at a free bioblitz event with City of Lafayette! Bring out your inner naturalist as we document and observe the plants and animals at an important natural area - Kneebone Open Space. All the information we collect through this bioblitz will be used by staff to foster healthy habitat at this space and others like it. This event is open to all, no experience required. Come prepared with weather appropriate clothing, water, and the iNaturalist app (free!). All other monitoring equipment will be provided.

Open to all - children and adults!

Location: Kneebone Open Space, Lafayette - 11218 Arapahoe Rd.
