Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz
Parks for Pollinators is a national campaign to raise awareness and community involvement in the pollinator crisis by challenging parks and like-minded organizations to get involved and host a pollinator BioBlitz (a quick, targeted survey of species in a particular area) during the month of September.
Pinellas County, along with the cities of Clearwater and Pinellas Park, is hosting a BioBlitz and is seeking volunteers to help document pollinators and pollinator-friendly plants living in local parks and preserves.
No experience is necessary, just the ability to take photos of pollinators or pollinator-friendly plants and upload them to the iNaturalist app or website.
There are two more opportunities to participate: Sept. 12 at Patti Johnson Farm of Pinellas Park, 6199 94th Avenue; and Sept. 19 at Moccasin Lake Nature Park in Clearwater, 2750 Park Trail Lane.
For those who want to learn even more about the power of pollinators, a Wildflower and Pollinator Festival will be held at Booker Creek Saturday, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
