Lassen Creek Conservation Area Bio Blitz

Join LLTT staff, board members, and local naturalists for a morning of exploring and learning at the 385 acre Lassen Creek Conservation Area. Team up with skilled birders, plant nerds, insect lovers, and mammal track hunters for a morning of fun! Or, head out on your own for solo discovery. We are also looking for 3 - 4 volunteers to help collect insects using a variety of collection methods.

What is a bioblitz? A bioblitz is a communal effort to record observations of species of plants, insects, birds, mammals within a designated location and time period.

LLTT will provide datasheets and maps plus detailed directions the day of the event. Data can be collected via old-fashioned datasheets and also via the Lassen Creek Conservation Area Project page on iNaturalist. Details on using iNaturalist will be provided to all who register.

Hike and Potluck at LCCA

Lassen Creek Conservation Area was initially protected as a migration corridor for mule deer traveling from the Diamond Mountain range to the valley. LLTT acquired the 384-acre property piece by piece from 2007 - 2012. We have come to realize that Lassen Creek Conservation Area has a colorful and interesting historical story to share as well! This story has surfaced thanks to the hard work of Tom Rickman, who has been researching the property’s history for the Trust. Join Tom and staff at 4:30 for a walking tour of the property with an eye to indigenous uses of the area, homesteading, and the mystery of the mines. We purchased the land to protect a migration corridor and ended up with a “gold mine” of history too!

Meet at the LCCA Learning Center at 4:30pm for a hike up to the top of the hill with a 360° view of the property and discoveries.

Stay for a potluck afterwards at the LCCA Learning Center. Please bring a dish to share if you are able. The potluck starts at 6:00.
