In partnership with the Ridgefield Conservation Commission and Weir Farm National Historical Park. ​Come celebrate Ridgefield’s biodiversity! All ages welcome.

A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time.

Join us as we visit different habitats and attempt to identify as many plant, animal, and fungi species that we can find. ​

Early Birding Survey 7- 8:30 am: Join WNC educator and bird expert Tommy McCarthy on a short walk through field and forest to identify bird species by sight and listening to calls. Bring Binoculars. ​

Family Sessions 9:00-11 am, 12:00-2 pm or 3:00-5 pm: Sign up for one Family Session. Participants will walk trails along field, forest, and pond habitats stopping at stations along the way. Each station will have activities including insect displays, pond scooping for invertebrates, looking under logs, learning about bears, and even an art station to make your own nature journal!
