As the sun sets over Saskatoon at the close of this event, we invite you to come out ahead of time to discover the beauty of the East Side of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area during a captivating evening bio-blitz. In this twilight adventure, we’ll explore the diverse species that awaken with the nightfall—from buzzing insects to curious mammals and elusive birds.

As the sun dips below the horizon at 8:30 PM, we will have documented a night’s worth of nature observations, all for a greater cause: a strong ecological database for the future.
