The pollinator BioBlitz is a fun competition to see who can identify the most number of pollinators, and this year the dates are from October 7th through October 23rd. This will be a short easy walk along the Nature Walk trail to slip in a few more identifications before the contest ends. We will be talking about all the different plants that depend on all sorts of animals to pollinate their flowers as well as looking for the insects and other critters who do the pollinating. Difficulty Level: Easy. This short distance trail meanders through arroyos and hills to give a great introduction to desert plants and wildlife for kids, beginner hikers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The bird blind at the beginning of the trail is always a good spot for nature viewing!thes.
