The Southwest Nova Biosphere and Middleton Recreation are partnering to bring the Snow Shoe Bioblitz to the Riverside Park. This family-friendly event invites community members to learn about biodiversity in Southwestern Nova Scotia using the iNaturalist app.
We will meet at the trailhead by the parking lot at 11:00 am on Saturday February 21st. We will explore the trail and photograph as many winter plants as we can see. A prize will be available for the attendee with the highest number of species uploaded to iNaturlist at the end of the walk. This data will be incorporated into the “Best Buds Bioblitz” on iNaturalist. For more information on the bioblitz, check out the beginners’ guide on our Facebook page.
Middleton recreation offers free equipment rentals including cross country skis, walking poles, and snow shoes. Attendees are encouraged to reach out to
bXBhbCB8IHRvd24gISBtaWRkbGV0b24gISBucyAhIGNh to reserve snow shoes for Saturday morning.
Middleton’s “more green time, less screen time” initiative wants to see community members enjoying the great outdoors. Let’s use our screens to get outside and enjoy nature by learning plant identification with the iNaturalist app. To participate, you should have the app downloaded before you arrive. Make sure to dress warm and have your equipment ready for 11:00 am.
If the weather makes the trail unsafe for the walk, we will reschedule for 11:00 am on Sunday, February 22nd. If there is insufficient snow, we will enjoy a regular walk.
