Parks & Rec to run BioBlitz and launch pollinator‑friendly yard program
Summary
Staff previewed a September BioBlitz using iNaturalist to engage K‑12 and public participants to document pollinators and announced a Parks & Rec 'pollinator friendly yard' designation that residents can register for online.
A Staff member previewed an annual BioBlitz in September that will invite K‑12 classes and the public to record pollinator observations via the iNaturalist app; the program includes public outreach and potential prizes for top contributors. "There's a project in the app iNaturalist, where everybody can record, different photos and sightings of pollinators throughout the city," the Staff member said.
Staff also described a new Parks & Rec program allowing residents to sign up for a 'pollinator friendly yard' designation by meeting set criteria; participating yards can appear on a public map maintained by Parks & Rec. The committee encouraged outreach to downtown plantings and schools to boost participation.
