The Bio Blitz is an important activity which assists the park staff with understanding the wildlife trends within the park, and subsequently aids in the planning and management of the park. During the two-hour session, volunteers are stationed along Janes Scenic Drive, and record their wildlife observations.
This interesting opportunity occurs one Wednesday per month, beginning November 2023, through May 2024. Each month, on the designated Wednesday, volunteers meet at the Park Office at 7:45AM and then proceed to Blitz from 8:30-10:30AM. After the Bio Blitz concludes, you are encouraged to remain and enjoy the park at your leisure.
The upcoming Bio Blitz series will take place on the following Wednesdays:
• April 10th
• May 8th

grove at Deep Lake ultimately shifted the local economy toward tourism and led to the creation of our county.
