**CANCELLED**
Due to unusual flow conditions at the Chickamauga Dam, TVA has asked us to postpone our BioBlitz to a future date. We are so sorry to anyone who had planned to come, but hope you will check back with us to attend future bioblitzes! We are hoping to get this rescheduled sometime in July or the Fall.
DLIA partners with TVA and regional scientists to engage people in a biological inventory of TVA’s public lands through BioBlitzes. Family friendly, no experience necessary, and free admission!
These events incorporate field collection, specimen identification and education sessions. They offer an opportunity to get to know the biodiversity in our backyard and help TVA to better manage natural areas through species occurrence data. Participants survey birds, butterflies and plants using provided equipment. Experts will be on hand to train participants and identify species.
BioBlitzes are family friendly and offer opportunities for the public to have hands-on experiences and interactions with scientists, wildlife and their community. Anyone interested in Wildlife, Biology, Citizen Science, Biodiversity and getting outside are encouraged to participate.
For the event, participants should:
Bring food and water for the day (we will be in a place where there are no stores or restaurants).
Dress for being outside and for whatever weather might .
Download the iNaturalist application on your phone or smart device. This app will be used to document species, information and locations.
Wear/bring sunscreen.
