Emery Prairie Remediation Bioblitz

We’re partnering with Boeing to offer a guided Bioblitz event at the former Emery Landfill turned pollinator haven and restored prairie. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn more about an active remediation and restoration project and explore a piece of land not often seen by the public.

Optional: Download the iNaturalist app ahead of time to add to citizen science efforts and help find out what animals and plants are living there. Or, show up and meander, no app needed.

This is a free, come-and-go event so pop in anytime between 9am and 12pm! We'll have tables setup near the entrance to help get you started with a map of the site, a list of possible plants to find, and insect nets available for use. You're welcome to explore on your own or join a group with a guide.

Kathy Beaty, Remediation Project Manager, will be available to answer questions and will give a short talk about the site.

Bring a good hat, sunscreen, close-toed shoes, and bug spray as we'll be hiking through the grass for bugs, birds, wildflowers, and anything else we can find.
