How many species can you spot in four days? Wyoming Statewide BioBlitz is the time to find out! From July 19-22, nature lovers across Wyoming will be exploring outdoor areas—from backyards and city parks to national parks, public lands, and more—to observe as many plant and animal species as possible and record them using iNaturalist. Observations submitted during Statewide Wyoming BioBlitz will provide data for real-world studies that inform conservation science, helping to protect Wyoming’s birds, wildlife, plants, and other natural resources. Plus, getting outside and spotting new species is a fun, exciting way to contribute to conservation!
