Help the Alachua County Forever program document plant, animal, and fungi species on one of the county’s newest preserves. Experience with wildlife and plant identification, and use of the apps iNaturalist and eBird are helpful but not required. Participants will receive a brief iNaturalist tutorial and explore the preserve with Alachua County Environmental Specialists. Species recorded during the bioblitz will be included in the management plan for Tuscawilla Headwaters Preserve and iNaturalist observations will be included in the City Nature Challenge project for Alachua County.
