Come help us catalog the Back 5 plant communities! 

Join us in documenting what plants exist in the Back 5 to help plan future plantings.

Meet at the Visitor Services Booth at 10am. We’ll give a short demonstration on plant ID basics and then split into teams to seek out and catalog the plants that are growing in the Back 5. We'll also use iNaturalist to add to our publicly available plant map. Participants will learn about our native and non-native plant communities, gain some plant ID skills/practice, and practice reciprocity by helping fall planning efforts.  

The Back 5 is an unmanicured space with a variety of hazards, such as steep and uneven paths, stinging nettle, and insects. This event may not be appropriate for young children. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.  

If capacity is full, please email Max to be added to the waitlist.
