Additional Information
A BioBlitz is a 24-hr rapid inventory of biological diversity at Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge! A huge part of this survey of life on the refuge is the BioBlitz festival on Saturday June 14th from 10 am to 3 pm. The festival is free, open to the public and jam-packed with activities like hummingbird banding demonstrations, native bird & plant walks, and insect collecting expeditions.
This year’s BioBlitz is being held on Free Fishing Day, so we will also be holding Kids’ Fishing Day at Gotts Point. From 10 am to 3 pm, kids can learn about fish biology, fishing ethics, and water safety. Visitors will have a chance to practice casting and rigging and then test their newly-learned skills fishing in Lake Lowell! Fishing poles will be available to borrow if needed.
