Celebrate National Public Lands Day with TCWP and friends! Join TCWP, Discover Life in America, and the Tennessee Valley Authority for a free, family-friendly BioBlitz in Oak Ridge’s two cedar barrens. A BioBlitz is an opportunity for people of all ages and skill levels to learn about local animals and plants while contributing to science! We will explore what lives along the Worthington Cemetery Trail at Melton Hill Reservoir and in the Oak Ridge Barrens Natural Area.

Two chances to ‘blitz!

Friday, September 25 from 7pm to 10pm Eastern: Throughout the evening, we will survey for plants, insects, and more! At dusk, we will set up black lights to monitor insect populations, and we may hear bats with our echolocation detector!

Meeting location (Friday): Parking lot at Jefferson Middle School, 200 Fairbanks Rd, Oak Ridge, TN, 37830
