Join local experts and citizen scientists across Lancaster County to conduct a plant and insect BioBlitz of MCC's Akron Campus.

We will have a PLANT Team and an INSECT Team, each led by a knowledgeable local naturalist. Grab your phone to use iNaturalist, or a pen and paper, and help us document the diversity of plants and insects we find on campus in eastern Lancaster County. A smart phone is helpful, but not required. Download the apps and/or beforehand to help you with identifying wildlife. This family-friendly event is open and FREE to the community! Join us for fun plus live music, an opportunity to learn about the natural environment, and talk about rewilding your own landscape!
