Community members work with park staff to create a snapshot of wildlife found in local parks. Using an app/website, participants take pictures of plants, insects, and animals to document wildlife present in the park on the day of the event. The data collected provides the park system with more information about local pollinators, which are essential to our ecosystem (search iNaturalist app in the app store or visit iNaturalist.org). 9:00am-12:00pm, Dupree Park, 513 Neese Road, Woodstock. 770-592-6000 x1955.
