Laguna Seca BioBlitz, North Coyote Valley 3/12/22 by Ronald Horii
This event was held on 3/12/22: "Explore the North Coyote Valley Conservation Area with SCVAS (Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, https://scvas.org/)! Join us for a BioBlitz to explore the plants and animals that call this part of the Coyote Valley home! Gates will be open to the public from 9AM to 12PM.

We will be using iNaturalist to catalog organisms big and small and creating a publicly accessible project to document our findings. Naturalists will be on hand to help the public explore their surroundings and to direct discoveries.
