Compete, spectate, cheer and get rowdy to support your favorite bocce-ers!

– See the shady spring green with tours through the downtown floodplain forest trails. Map out the species living in the forest as part of the iNaturalist BioBlitz we’ll be operating throughout that afternoon. June should be a great time to catch some of the first floodplain flowers. If you’re reading this in April/May, the vernal pools should be in the process of hosting congresses of resident amphibians! Come by with a flashlight and sturdy boots after a rain and let us know what and how many you see
