This year, the Milwaukee Public Museum is excited to partner with the Wehr Nature Center for its annual Bioblitz on Friday, June 12- Saturday June 13th.

If you’re new to the Milwaukee Public Museum’s Bioblitz, every year MPM partners with a different park, natural area, or nature preserve, and a team of volunteer surveyors (that’s you!) to count as many species as we can in 24 hours.  As always, the event starts at 3pm on Friday and goes to 3 pm on Saturday, when we will report our finds. Surveyors are welcome to join us for as much or as little of the 24-hour survey period as they would like. There will be space to camp if you are planning to stay overnight. Meals, snacks, and T-shirts will be provided.  There will be free activities for the public on Saturday from 10-3. 

The sign-up link is here ( Bioblitz 2026-Wehr Nature Center, Franklin WI June 12-13 – Fill out form)  but if you’re signing up a group, forms aren’t your speed, or have other questions, please don’t hesitate to email Julia at colby@mpm.edu.

Hope to see you this summer at Wehr!
