Community Calendar

Thanks to the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Edmond Parks and Recreation is hosting a virtual BioBlitz this September in support of the Parks for Pollinators campaign.

The Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz is an event in which community members work with parks and rec staff to create a snapshot of the variety of wildlife that can be found in Mitch Park in September. We use a no-cost platform/app called iNaturalist to take pictures of plants, insects and animals to see what wildlife is present in the park during this month and provide us with more information about pollinators, which are essential to our ecosystem.

If you'd like to watch a tutorial on using iNaturalist, you can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xENz1xRu0wI

This information will help us understand how we can better protect pollinators and other important wildlife in our community.

The arthropod group Arachnida, including scorpions, spiders and their relatives, is one of the most diverse animal groups on the planet. Although often feared by humans, these organisms play an important role in our ecosystem and their biology offers important insights not only into the history of the Earth but also in medicine and biotechnology. During the event, Dr. Loria will teach us about the diversity, biogeography, evolution and ecology, of these predators and show us how they are collected and prepared for museum collections. Join us for this spectacular activity that will include fascinating arachnids and fluorescence! Our findings will be added to the Parks for Pollinators 2025: Mitch Park BioBlitz project in iNaturalist.
