Bio Blitz

Bio Blitz is a 24 hour event where different wildlife experts will be leading a variety of tours teaching about all the different ecosystems in the Santa Rita Experimental Range. These tours will help to identify, collect, and count as many flora and fauna species as possible. You can decide what tours you'd like to attend, however it is important to know that most have a limited number of spots, so its first come first serve!

 

​

There are places to camp as you are not expected to stay up the entire time, you can rent camping equipment from Outdoor Rec. The more diversity of species you record the chances you win are higher. Top three recorders will be awarded by the club, please sign up on our iNaturalist page to participate in the event.

​

​

During these tours, there may be opportunities for animal handling, however you will be required to have a hunting license if handling. This is for both our safety as well as the wildlife's and it is also a legal requirement. 

A hunting license is about $37.00 and can be purchased at the AZ Game and Fish website.

​

Carpooling to the event is strongly advised, however there is a sign up sheet to be transported by vans provided by the club. There are limited seats for different transportation times so reserve your seat now.
