Cowboy Trail Bioblitz

Join us on August 23rd 7:30am-4:30pm at Ta-Ha-Zouka Park in Norfolk for a day filled with wildlife viewing, educational activities, and enjoying the scenery along the Cowboy Trail.

Celebrate the Cowboy Trail’s 30th anniversary by helping Nebraska Game and Parks document the plants and animals that make their home along the trail. Experts will lead sessions to discover as many living things as we can find while sharing information and answering questions long the way.

Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist, beginner wildlife enthusiast, student or family looking for a fun outdoor activity, there is something for everyone.

All materials for sessions are provided. Don’t forget to bring appropriate walking/hiking shoes, hat, jacket, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottles, camping chairs, etc. Food is not provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.

This event is free and open to the public, you are welcome to attend one session or attend them all!
