River Days – Hike With a Purpose: BioBlitz at Mildred Falls

Discover the hidden beauty of Mildred Falls at our River Days BioBlitz!  Join us for a hands-on community science adventure as we explore this stunning preserve and document its incredible biodiversity. Using the iNaturalist app on our smartphones, we’ll identify and record local flora and fauna, contributing valuable data that supports countywide conservation strategies.

This is more than a peaceful escape into nature. The observations you collect help protect native species and strengthen local ecosystems for generations to come.

Come explore, learn, and make a meaningful impact. We can’t wait to see you there!
