Alum Rock Park BioBlitz, 7/17/21 by Ronald Horii
On Saturday 7/17/21, there was a BioBlitz in Alum Rock Park. Here's the description:
"Located in the southern part of San Jose, the park we will be at is a safe haven for many species of plants and animals right along Coyote Creek. Join Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and BioBlitz.club in cataloging and documenting all of the living things that reside there. We will have experts in various fields to help guide participants through all the cool plants and wildlife.
The best part? All you need to participate is a smart phone with the iNaturalist app!
So bring your family and prepare for an in-depth tour of this great park.
Hosted by Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful, Bioblitz.club, and Grassroots Ecology.
Supported by Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority and San Jose Parks & Recreation."
It was organized by biologist Merav Vonshak, who has been holding BioBlitzes in other parts of the county.
