DESCRIPTION:About BioBlitz at
 College Hill ParkExplore Poughkeepsie’s plants and wildlife with local
 stewards, scientists, and neighbors! Join us for a group scavenger hunt — known as a BioBlitz —
 to identify plants, birds, pollinators, and other forms of life. We’ll be
 scouting out the City of Poughkeepsie’s College Hill Park, which is both the
 largest park and highest point in the City.Your observations will contribute to the growing database of
 biodiversity (the variety of plants and animals) being gathered as part
 of the Defining Urban Biodiversity study in Kingston, Newburgh,
 and Poughkeepsie. You’ll also learn how to use the iNaturalist app to help you
 prepare for future community science events! This event is in partnership with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, CCEDC Dutchess County’s No Child Left Inside (NCLI) program and the Revive College Hill Park Coalition.We look forward to seeing you there!What to Expect
