SUMMARY:Bioblitz @ Lady's Bluff Trail
DESCRIPTION:Free\, family friendly opportunity to learn about local animals and plants while contributing to science. Join Discover Life in America and the Tennessee Valley Authority at Lady’s Bluff Trail.  \n\n\n\nLady’s Bluff Small Wild Area offers views of unique gnarled old cedars\, limestone outcrops and sinkholes as well as spectacular views of the Tennessee River and the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge’s Busseltown Unit on the opposite shore. If you are a wildflower hunter\, this is a great place to be in the spring.  \n\n\n\nTwo chances to ‘blitz!\n\n\n\nFriday\, May 19th: 6pm to 10pm Central: Join us for an evening of discoveries…we will continue in the dark\, as we will set up a black light to monitor insect populations! \n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 20th: 8am to 12pm Central: The morning is a great time to look for birds and we will continue to look for other flora and fauna throughout the morning! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\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\nAfterward you can see what kind of organisms we found by visiting the Lady’s Bluff Trail project on iNaturalist\, which will be left up indefinitely. We encourage you to revisit the Lady’s Bluff Trail Project 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Location: Lady’s Bluff Trailhead Parking Lot in Linden\, TN 37096 \n\n\n\nGPS Coordinates to the meeting location: 35.688261 -88.012921 \n\n\n\nWebsite: TVA Lady’s Bluff Trail
