Biodiversity Bash: Stoneleigh Bioblitz

Curious who lives at Stoneleigh (besides all the beautiful native plants)? Come help us to celebrate, discover, and document wildlife biodiversity at our garden. With native plants as the foundation, Stoneleigh is working to build a garden that is beautiful and biodiverse, and continued sightings of species never previously seen at Stoneleigh tell us it’s working.

Join us as we continue to discover the different organisms that the garden supports: invertebrates, fungi, mammals, reptiles, birds, and more. You’ll enjoy a guided walk, make discoveries and observations that help grow our understanding of Stoneleigh’s biodiversity, and participate in community science while experiencing a day in the garden.
