Bioblitz on the New Property

Let's see how many different species we can find and identify in 1 hour on the new acreage at Lockhart State Park!

Join us for a bioblitz at Lockhart State Park! A bioblitz is a fast-paced event where community members team up to find and name as many plants, animals, and other living things as they can in a specific place. Anyone can participate and no experience is necessary. All ages welcome. No registration required.

This activity will take place on Lockhart State Park’s new land.  This new area is not yet open to the public, but visitors are welcome to see it via guided events accompanied by State Park staff. This area does not have any official trails yet, so the terrain is rough and uneven. 

Prepare: Download the iNaturalist app and create an account prior to our event, if desired (this is optional, but encouraged!). Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes. Bring water and apply bug repellent.

Meet: In the overflow parking lot. If driving from park HQ, pass the pool and take your first left-hand turn.  Look for the brown “overflow parking area” sign.

Fees: This program is free with paid entry to the park. Regular park entrance fees are $3/adult, free for children 12 & under.
