April 1: Pier 94 Bioblitz

Nature—with the help of hardworking Golden Gate Audubon volunteers—is reclaiming a hidden wetland consisting of nearly five acres of isolated industrial land near Pier 94 on San Francisco’s southern waterfront. Located in the shadow of container ships and heavy equipment, the restored salt marsh and adjacent upland provides valuable habitat for birds, butterflies, and small mammals.

Join us on Saturday, April 1st at 9 AM at Pier 94 (480 Amador St).  We'll explore the area and document everything we can find for a couple hours, then we'll all come back together to upload our observations, see what everyone else found, and get help with IDs.  

A bioblitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location, bringing professional scientists and amateur citizen scientists together. Together, we’ll look for snails, salamanders, birds, butterflies, other insects, spiders, trees, worms, flowers, and everything else we can find!
