Native Plant and Wildlife Biodiversity Day at CNPS Nursery
We need your help to show how important California native plants are for native wildlife in urban areas! The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and local partners in the Santa Clara Valley have launched a new initiative: Biodiversity in Urban Gardens (BUG). The data you collect will help us better understand and advocate for native plants in California’s cities and towns.
Join us Wednesday morning at the CNPS Sacramento Valley nursery at Soil Born Farms to gather observations together for BUG! We'll explore the native plant demonstration gardens to find native wildlife like insects, birds, and lizards. Bring your phone or camera to photograph the wildlife to share on iNaturalist.
No prior iNaturalist or other experience required! We'll teach you how to use the app, what makes a good observation, and have an iNaturalist Ambassador available to answer questions.
When: Wednesday, August 12, 10am-12pm
Where: Soil Born Farms (2140 Chase Dr, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670)
Who: All are welcome to join!
Why: Help us collect observations of native insects, birds, lizards, and mammals with native plants using the iNaturalist app.
