Basin and Range National Monument Bioblitz - June 4-6, 2021

The Basin and Range National Monument is hosting a Bioblitz in June to gather data about the biodiversity of the monument. Created in 2015, the monument includes elements of both Great Basin and Mojave ecosystems and includes varied terrain of mountains, hills, and valleys. The area has not been extensively surveyed in the past so there are many discoveries waiting to be made.

There will be a group camping area (location TBD) and daily treks with biologists and botanists. The area has no services, the nearest gas, motel, and food is in Alamo to the south. It also has no water sources so be prepared for dry camping.
