Lakeshore Nature Preserve Bioblitz – June 7!

Join us for this fun event June 7, 2025 from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve!

What is a bioblitz?

Think of a bioblitz as a nature scavenger hunt where scientists, naturalists, students, and community members come together to identify as many species as possible (plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms) within a particular area over a set time period.

Why are we doing a bioblitz?

We want to know what species live on the UW-Madison campus to help us guide ecological restoration and management of the Preserve.

Who can join?
