We partner with USFS\, Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) and local and state parks. Since our founding in 2020\, we have been determined to make an impact. The core of our efforts is to bring volunteers together to reduce the negative impact human overuse and destruction has on public lands. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 on iNaturalist\, which will be left up indefinitely. We encourage you to revisit the Deep Creek trails 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\n\n\nJoin us to “record life and remove litter” with our co-host\, Save Our Smokies!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave Our Smokies\n\n\n\nSave Our Smokies\, Inc is an all volunteer organization that removes litter and graffiti from public lands.
