The public is invited to explore, observe, and document biodiversity across the 8-acre garden site. 
Working alongside local experts, you’ll contribute to a multi-year effort tracking how species diversity changes over time—real science happening right here in Iowa City.&nbsp; 
 


Families are welcome, and all ages can participate. No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity.
During this interactive event, participants will: 
• Examine insects under professional microscopes 
• Learn to identify species using the iNaturalist app 
• Discover how your observations contribute to scientific research 
• Learn about the collaborative vision for the gardens 
• Visit numerous displays hosted by environmental and conservation groups 
This collaborative effort brings together the City of Iowa City, Hills Bank, Johnson County Master Gardeners, Johnson County Planning, Development &amp; Sustainability, Project GREEN, and the University of Iowa Office of Sustainability and the Environment to promote environmental education, stewardship, and community engagement. 
BioBlitz participants are encouraged to practice a carry-in/carry-out philosophy; if you bring it in, please carry it out. And bring a reusable/refillable water bottle and adopt the initiative to avoid using single-use plastics. Everything we can do to help our environment makes a difference: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
