Out of town for the 8th (Going to Galveston!). Will try to make at least one of the others
Mike is having a thing at Hidden Springs Preserve on the weekend of the 8th. I'll be at the others. =)
I might be available for the 29th bioblitz, maybe LLELA.
I think I can make the LLELA event on 10/8.
Would love to make the 10/8 event!! Thanks for the heads up!!
Can you give me details or tell me where to find the LLELA event? It doesn't look like it's on their calendar.
Definitely interested in the LLELA blacklight event - I just got my first UV flashlight today! Like @vicki76, I'm not seeing an official event posted on their website yet, but I'll keep checking. Thanks for the heads up!
I will definitely be at the black-lighting in Rockwall! Unfortunately I will not be able to make the other events.
Yay! Thanks for sharing.
Here's the updated info on LLELA!

Yay! Mothing! I will be at the Rockwall event. What time?
Rockwall! So, this Saturday, the blacklighting will be at Harry Myers Park -- it's a really big park that has a lot of recreational stuff, but there's a spot where they've done some grassland restoration. That's close to where we'll black-light.
Here's the specific spot:

It'll be from 7 PM until late-ish. There is a little guided nature walk that I'll lead for a few folks (only 3 have registered), but we'll have some black-lighting stations set up -- I'll bring all of my gear. If you're able to bring yours, cool! :)
Is that where we'd meet for the nature walk? We've got a small family event Saturday afternoonb ut I may be free by then. Won't know until time of though
I was looking forward to blacklighting tonight, but I'm stuck at home with the flu instead. See lots of cool stuff for me.
This Saturday is the day-time bioblitz in Burleson!

Location:
504 Jennifer Dr
Burleson, TX 76028
The official time is from 10 - noon, but I'm planning on getting out there at around 9, staying until noon, getting some lunch nearby, then bioblitzing more in the afternoon. :)

I’ll try to make it. I’ll be clearing out some invasive species along a public greenway in Benbrook early in the morning (with the city’s permission). If someone wants to help, I’ll have more time to make this Bioblitz in Burleson. 😉 😆
Or maybe I should just wait until later in the afternoon for clearing the invasives. 🤔
It looks like there will be zero parking? The trailhead is just by some houses in a neighborhood. Does the park down the way have any parking
?
Ooops -- I forgot to mention that! Parking is at the nearby school (Clinkscale elementary), or roadside depending on how many folks show up. In the afternoon, I'll just be doing roadside parking. :)
@sambiology Do you need some standing cypress seeds for the wildflower area?
HECK YES!!! Please please please bring those, Josh! That would be awesome.
@observerjosh Hey! I think I saw your FB comment too. Just seconding Sam here, but yes please do bring standing cypress seeds!! Looking forward to Saturday! -Katelyn Reeves
Mud boots ready. :)
We may find some cool tracks out there today!
If you're able to come today, please join the project:
