Alum Rock Park BioBlitz, 7/30/22 by Ronald Horii
On Saturday 7/30/22, there was a BioBlitz in Alum Rock Park. Here's the description:
"About this event:
Located in the Eastern Foothills of San Jose, the park we will be at is a safe haven for many species of plants and animals right along Penitencia Creek that flows into 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." The event was led by Merav Vonshak, who organizes BioBlitzes all over the county.
