Interested in becoming a citizen scientist and improving your nature identification skills with park staff? We’ve got the opportunity for you! Harris Lake County Park is an ecoEXPLORE HotSpot, which means it’s a place where you can make observations of plants and animals and share them with scientists! We’ll be offering a quarterly opportunity to explore the park with our staff in search of a certain taxon, or group, of animals or plants. We will add our findings to the park’s Natural Resources Inventory Database, which records our wildlife diversity, so we need you, citizen scientists!
Our focus for this month’s program will be on mammals! Come learn about the mammal species we have at the park and help us search for them and the evidence they leave behind. Please create a profile at https://www.ecoexplore.net/signup prior to the program. Meet at the Loblolly Shelter and bring your device for taking photos and capturing data. For ages 7 and up—must be registered with an adult. Space is limited!
