Join MountainTrue, Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, and the Buladean Community Center for an exploration of the outstanding natural diversity of the Roan Highlands and to celebrate our 10th Annual BioBlitz. Attendees will participate in groups with expert naturalists that will guide them in identifying as many species as possible. Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy will open several of their preserves to participants who in turn will collect data that will aid in land protection.
A BioBlitz is part social event, part scientific expedition. Armed with the iNaturalist app and guided by experts, we’ll head into the field to document the rare and rugged ecosystems near Gerton, NC.
Ready to become a citizen scientist? Space is limited to ensure a high-quality experience for all participants and to minimize our impact on the land.
Important Reminders:
Please leave pets at home. Kids able to hike 4 miles are welcome to attend as long as accompanied by a parent/guardian for the duration of the event.
