Join the Roan Stewardship team, our partners from MountainTrue, and the Buladean Community Center to explore and document incredible natural biodiversity on SAHC preserves in the Highlands of Roan. Celebrate conservation and participate in MountainTrue’s 10th Annual BioBlitz while exploring our beautiful Wiles Creek and Big Rock Creek preserves (and likely a few others). Attendees will participate in groups with expert naturalists that will guide them in identifying as many species as possible. Data collected on SAHC’s preserves will aid in long term protection of the land.
What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is part social event, part scientific expedition. Armed with the iNaturalist app and guided by experts, we’ll head into the field to document the rare and rugged ecosystems in the Highlands of Roan.
- Explore: Navigate diverse terrains with expert naturalists.
- Learn: Discover how to identify local flora and fauna.
- Contribute: Every observation you upload becomes part of a global database used by scientists to track environmental health.
