FREE Family Fun at Driftless Area BioBlitz

Join us for the 2025 Driftless Area BioBlitz (DABB)! At these FREE events, experts from our community will be leading field expeditions to teach about specific topics in nature. Each event starts with a brief education about their topic, and then we will go out into the field to identify what we’ve learned about. Some events will be at The Nature Place and some off-site.

Topic for the event this Saturday, May 17 at The Nature Place is Birds of the Driftless. Craig Thompson, ornithologist and retired from the WI DNR, will talk about how amazing birds are, how to observe birds and help protect them. All ages and skill levels are welcome to learn, observe, and explore with us! We use iNaturalist to identify and upload images to a community science database. Add your observations to iNaturalist and or to your own personal passport that we provide. Get a sticker and a button and help us add more community scientists to DABB!
