Bugs in the Garden, July 15 at Myrick Park

6/15/23 to 6/17/23 | 10:00 am - Noon

• Location: Myrick Park, The Nature Place

Explore the wonderful world of decomposers! Join the Driftless Area BioBlitz (DABB) team and WisCorps members in The Nature Place’s garden at Myrick Park on July 15. Nick Nichols, author of Worm McWorm and the Decomposers, will read from his book, then you can search for decomposers in the WisCorps garden with the help of Stephanie Hanna, Environmental Education Manager, The Nature Place.

This is a BioBlitz data collection event, which encourages everyone with a cell phone or a camera and a computer to become a citizen scientist. Using the iNaturalist app or webpage, we will focus on finding and identifying insect species in the garden. Members of the BioBlitz crew will help you take photos and upload them to iNaturalist so you can help identify and document local species.
