BioBlitz in Northern Michigan!
I want to invite you (and any friends/family/colleagues) to Little Traverse Conservancy's first ever BioBlitz! I would love support from the iNaturalist community, please spread the word to all you think would be interested. We will be using iNaturalist to document observations and will hopefully introduce more folks to the iNat world. Our BioBlitz will take place from 12:30 - midnight Friday and 7am to 6pm Saturday, June 10th and 11th at our Susan Creek Nature Preserve just north of Charlevoix. The preserve is located about 3 miles north of Charlevoix on US-31...easy to find!
The BioBlitz will include opportunities to tag along with an experienced naturalist/biologist who will demonstrate how to survey or identify an organism as well as opportunities for documenting your own observations. We are encouraging you to register for the forays with experienced naturalists on our website (http://landtrust.org/wordpress/event/bioblitz-2016/) or by calling our office (231-347-0991). Otherwise, you are welcome to stop by when you can to participate on your own.
Also, let us know if you would like to help out at our ID table. Please feel free to contact me or Cacia Lesh (231-344-1002, cacia at landtrust.org) with any questions.
Happy Exploring!
Derek

I'd love to but I live out in Arizona now-a-days.
Thanks @codyhough! If you have the chance to check in and make identifications that would be just as supportive, and will show those new to iNaturalist how neat the community is! Right @carrieseltzer ?!
Hi Sleeping Bear iNaters! @alliepetersen @desertdutchman @pdm @forester93
Sounds great! I'll be on my way back to DC from a National Parks adventure out west. Hope it's great and I look forward to seeing what you find! :-)
I'm interested in attending Friday afternoon. Any chance of meeting other iNaters then? (I'm coming up from Benzie County.)
I will be there! I think its a small crowd of us at this point in northern Michigan, but everyone attending is going to be encouraged to use iNaturalist so there will definitely be an iNaturalist buzz around.
