Driftless Area BioBlitz – Precious Prairies FREE Family Program

Join us for the 2026 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 DABB event this Saturday, June 20, will be Precious Prairies. We will meet experts from Coulee Region Chapter of The Prairie Enthusiasts at Stry Prairie in Hixon Forest Park in La Crosse, WI.  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.
