The 2022 Texas Pollinator BioBlitz, Oct 7-23

It’s time for Texas Parks & Wildlife’s 7th annual BioBlitz! 

What is a BioBlitz?

A BioBlitz is an event in which volunteer scientists, families, students, and the community help complete a biological survey during a specified period of time. The Texas Pollinator BioBlitz is hosted by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and focuses on our pollinators and their habitats.

How do I participate?

This year’s event runs from October 7 through October 23, 2022. Find lots of information and how to register to log your observations on the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department page at this link.

News from the Tonkawa Chapter:

Please join the Tonkawa Chapter and other volunteers for an additional Monarch Waystation cleanup at northbound I-35 Bell County rest area Saturday, July 23. The rest area is just two miles south of Salado. We will start at 8:30 am and finish around 11:00 am or earlier because of the heat!

Please come prepared for the weather and bring any tools you have to weed the perennials with and maybe plant a few replacements, gloves, pruners, shovel, weeding tool, broom, water to drink, bucket to put trimmings in while we are working.

Thank you and hope to see you next Saturday!
