Our BioBlitz will check for the presence of native flowers\, sedges\, and grasses that have been planted in the meadow. The area is gridded off to make it easier to keep track of it all. This activity is part of the ongoing effort to restore the meadow and collect data to guide its ongoing restoration plan to benefit the wildlife in this special habitat.  Please join us in this worthwhile venture. \n  \nFAQ:\n\nWhat do I need to wear?  We recommend wearing pants\, long sleeves\, and closed-toed shoes.\n\n\nWhat do I need to bring?  Bring gardening gloves\, a reusable water bottle\, and a hat for shade. If you don’t have gloves\, we’ll have some that you can borrow.\n\n\nWhat age can participate?  We recommend participants be over the age of 10\, but all ages are welcome. Children 17 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.\n\n\nAre there restrooms?  Restrooms are available inside the gift shop when the shop is open\, but not at the BioBlitz site.\n\n\nCan I use this event for service hours?  This event is great for anyone who needs service hours. Bring any needed documentation with you. We’ll complete it at the BioBlitz.\n\n\nWhat if the weather is bad?  The BioBlitz is weather-dependent. If needed\, we’ll coordinate a rescheduled date.\n\n\nWhat if I have questions before the BioBlitz?  Just email Katie at katie@lostrivercave.org.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThank you to Wild Ones SoKY Chapter and Kathee Morgeson for organizing our first Meadow BioBlitz!\nJoin us Saturday\, August 13th from 8:00-11:00am for our first BioBlitz of the Meadow.
