Place: Meet in the parking lot at the Carriage House at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens, 2749 Boyds Bridge Pike, Knoxville, TN.
Wild Ones Smoky Mountains invites you to our first-annual Bioblitz and Picnic at the Meadow! The Wildlife Meadow at Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum is one of its most important but often overlooked installations. Bring a blanket and a picnic lunch for your group, and dine "al fresco" with other nature lovers after having some fun observing native bees, butterflies and other cool insects just doing their thing! We will gather at 9am to learn about the meadow's history and ecology, then we'll Bioblitz two portions of it: photographing as much life as we collectively can until picnic time!
While we eat, we'll upload the photos to iNaturalist so that KBGA, and future ecology researchers, will have a permanent snapshot of the meadow and its life in 2026.
