Join as at 6pm before the last light of day paints the sky at 8:30, join us at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area’s West Side for a peaceful evening bio-blitz. During this event, we will explore the varied ecosystems of the West Side, from dense forests to grasslands, in search of the incredible wildlife that calls this area home. With the sun setting at 8:30 PM, we’ll document our findings on iNaturalist, contributing to a comprehensive global biodiversity map. It’s an ideal way to connect with nature, learn about Saskatoon’s ecosystems, and contribute to preserving our environment for future generations.
