April Field Trip: iNaturalist Bioblitz, Guadalupe River Trail
A Bioblitz is a defined period of time in which observers make as many good observations of their local flora and fauna as as possible in a defined place. Observations are then published to the international iNaturalist website and contribute to a world-wide database. CCCA designed and led this Bioblitz along the Guadalupe River Trail as part of the 2019 iNaturalist City Nature Challenge Bioblitz.
Among the observations made were: Gilled mushrooms, Gouty Stem Gall Wasp, Ground cherry, Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella), Marsh fern, and Texas Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila phacelioides).

Kids and adults always love the CCCA booth. Here, they learn about the value of land, water, and wildlife. Kids can see how water flows into the aquifers through karsts, make leaf rubbings, and learn about conservation.
Private Guadalupe River Hike with Geologists Joe and Jane Finneran
Our social and fundraising Celebration for Conservation in September had a silent auction. One of the winners in 2018 invited her friends to join the hike. The pictures, in order, are Texas Baby Blue Eyes, the hikers, a garter snake, a deer track, and a River Cooter turtle.
