SUMMARY:Bioblitz @ Great Smoky Mountains Association's Members Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Great Smoky Mountains Association’s Members Weekend retreat to learn about local animals and plants while contributing to science. This year’s event will include a bioblitz in  Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the Cosby Picnic area led by Discover Life in America! \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s a bioblitz?\n\n\n\nDuring a bioblitz\, volunteers help document as many kinds of animals\, plants and other organisms as we can find in a certain place. It’s also an opportunity for you to be a community scientist\, gathering real scientific data\, while also learning about the local flora and fauna living around you. \n\n\n\nWhat will we be doing?\n\n\n\nWalking the trails\, looking for bugs\, flowers\, salamanders\, and anything else we can find. We’ll photograph them with our phones and post pictures to our iNaturalist project. It’ll be a fun morning of outdoor time in a gorgeous natural space and we’ll have experts on hand to guide small groups around the trail and point out interesting facts about the organisms we see. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAfterward you can see what kind of organisms we found by visiting the Cosby Bioblitz project on iNaturalist\, which will be left up indefinitely. We encourage you to revisit GSMNP and post what you find! Making iNaturalist observations helps TVA know what’s out there so they can better manage and protect these public lands. \n\n\n\nBefore the event\n\n\n\n\nDownload iNaturalist to your phone (it’s free!)\n\n\n\nFollow prompts in the app to create an iNaturalist account\n\n\n\nBring water and some snacks (we’ll also provide water)\n\n\n\nWear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes for hiking
