You are invited to join scientists, naturalists, and enthusiasts in exploring Forest Park's undiscovered wonders at the St. Louis BioBlitz. For those who love nature, this is an event not to miss.

The BioBlitz is a 24-hour exploration and inventory of the life in Forest Park. Teams of public volunteers led by biologists will search natural areas within the park, listing as many different species as they can find.
