Channel your inner scientist and join Metro Parks and Nature to find and collect wildlife data at Graham Oaks Nature Park in Wilsonville – part of The Intertwine’s ongoing eco-blitz series spanning the greater Portland region. A knowledgeable leader will take the group on each shift to search for species (plants, mammals , birds, amphibians, macroinvertebrates), with a special night shift for nocturnal insects and bats. No experience is necessary, and you’ll learn how to use the iNaturalist app. Bring a smart phone or tablet if you have one; if not, cameras will be useful (but not required). Find more information about species data and the Intertwine's Eco-Blitz Series.
Choose from one– and two–hour shifts for different species throughout the day when you register online. Free for all ages; families welcome!
