- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 am
- **Event Description**: A twist on a birding “big day,” today we’ll document as many species as we can find (not just birds!) Throughout the day, explore your own park or neighborhood to see how many living things you can find – that includes plants, mammals, fungi, insects, birds, lichens, and more!

Let’s see how many species we can notice in one day – share pictures, videos, or nature journal entries about the species you notice on The Big Day to support our work. 

⭐️⭐️For every observation shared, Brandon Everhart, The Bearded Realtor, will donate a dollar to support Tremont’s environmental education programs (up to $1,000 – a huge Big Day goal!)⭐️⭐️

Choose one of these methods to share your discoveries with Tremont:
⭐️ Post your observation to our Big Day Facebook event
⭐️ Email your observation to tremont@gsmit.org
