Bioblitz 2016: Judd Creek Watershed Vashon

Vashon Nature Center is partnering with Vashon Maury Island Land Trust to hold our 5th annual Bioblitz on Vashon Island. We will survey parks and preserves in Judd Creek watershed, our island's largest watershed with a salmon and trout bearing stream, mature forests, a thriving estuary and open sunny meadows.

This Bioblitz starts at 1 pm on June 24th and runs until 1 pm June 25th.

Basecamp is at beautiful Matsuda Farm house accessed by driving west on the driveway that runs along the north edge of the old K2 property. 19201 Vashon Highway SW.
