As a part of a morning of events in Marquam Nature Park, we’re organizing a community science project. We’ll teach you how to use iNaturalist, a crowdsourcing app that records frequency of organisms in a particular geographic area. You can become a member of the Marquam Nature Park Bioblitz team, and record your observations of flora and fauna in Park during the month of October. We’ll also teach you how to identify common plants and birds found in the park to help you get started. Please wear comfortable sturdy hiking shoes. Water is provided, but we ask that you bring a refillable water bottle. Snacks and prize drawings! No need to register ahead.
Parking at Marquam Shelter, and at OHSU Lot 90, at corner of Terwilliger and Sam Jackson Park Rd. Please consider carpooling or taking public transportation (Bus #8).

This activity takes place outdoors in the open air, and though participants often pass each other on the narrow trail, we have lots of room to spread out. With that in mind, masks and vaccination are not required for this activity. However we require volunteers to stay home when feeling any symptoms of illness (regardless of COVID-19 test result) and fully support participants’ choice to wear a mask if desired.
