SUMMARY:Pinellas County Bee City USA 2024 BioBlitz!
DESCRIPTION:Join others in the community for a fun\, citizen-science effort to record as many species of plants and insects at Eagle Lake Park! \n\n\n\n\n\nPinellas County has recently been recognized as a Bee City (County) by the non-profit Xerces Society for the Conservation of Invertebrates.

This “Bio-Blitz” using the iNaturalist phone app (free) will give us an idea of the density and diversity of pollinators and the plants they depend on in one park in our county. Educators from the Brooker Creek and Weedon Island Environmental Education Centers will be on hand to get you started at the BioBlitz. \nYou can sign-up here to keep updated by email of any useful information before the event. Otherwise\, all are welcome to join us to start the blitz at Shelter 3\, Eagle Lake Park\, 1800 Keene Road\, Largo\, FL 33771 from 9:00am – 12:00pm. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \n\n\n\n\n\n
