Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz at Northlake Nature Center

Head to the Northlake Nature Center in Mandeville for a day of contributing to science, while getting up-close-and-personal looks at the remarkable pollinator populations of our region. Part of the the National Recreation and Park Association's nationwide Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz effort to document the variety of species—these events invite community members to explore the Northlake Nature Center and document their insect encounters with the app iNaturalist. 

Start the day with Wild Ones Pontchartrain Basin, who will lead the morning BioBlitz from 9 am–11 am. Then, come back in the evening for an event hosted by the Pelican Park Nature Club in which organizers will set up a moth sheet—a white sheet illuminated by a bright light—to attract nocturnal insects and allow for easy identification. 7 pm–9 pm.
