We expect Saturday to be a beautiful clear, cool day that will be perfect for the BioBlitz led by butterfly expert Dr. Marc Minno. Sharpen your observation skills and increase your awareness of the natural world on the two-hour nature hike from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., and be thankful that you have this opportunity to see nature in a new light, delight in the everyday beauty, and experience the thrill of new discoveries.

At the October 8, 2022, BioBlitz we saw a Palatka Skipper (Euphyes pilatka pilatka) for only the second time (first documented in 2019). A total of 23 species and 219 individual adult butterflies were observed on that day alone! (View the October report listing all species seen here https://mailchi.mp/96134cdb91e7/nov2022bioblitz
This confirms the importance of these monthly butterfly surveys that allow us to track the different species over the years.

Find some summertime fun at the August 13, 2022, BioBlitz Nature Walk!

There is an ABUNDANCE of nature at B.B. Brown's Gardens at The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail, especially after summer months of rain and sun.

Our monthly BioBlitz, led by butterfly expert Dr. Marc Minno, is a guided nature walk focusing on that abundance and biodiversity as we search for butterflies and other hidden gems. On Saturday, August 13, from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., butterfly expert Dr. Marc Minno will guide a limited number of people on a 2-hour nature hike to increase our awareness of the natural world around us. By sharpening our powers of observation and interpretation, we will see nature in a new light by observing the things that are “hidden in plain sight.”
