Event: BioBlitz at the ECR Milam Wildscape – HEB Pollinators for Texas Project
When: Now through mid-July 2026
Where: ECR Milam Wildscape, 1369 County Road 334, Rockdale
Details: Photograph flora and fauna at the Wildscape. Let’s see how many pollinators we can attract and document at the wildscape!
VMS: Reporting hours is very important for this project. If you donate native plants from your place to the wildscape report the time you spent gathering the plants and preparing them to be replanted and report that as an “NRM” event (improving the area for animals).
If you clear the paths through it, report it as “NPA” (improving the area for humans).
If you take photos of pollinators at the wildscape and post them on a blog and/or iNat, report all the time spent doing the photos and writing the blog, or posting on iNat as “FR” (dissemination of info). If you post a blog and post on iNat record the time posting on iNat separately and include in the notes “HEB Pollinators for Texas” project.
