The Montpelier BioBlitz entices hundreds of Vermonters to venture into the great outdoors for a citywide nature festival paired with a 24-hour survey of the city’s wildlife. From 2 p.m. on Saturday until 2 p.m. on Sunday, locals go wild with an extensive lineup of family-friendly activities at Hubbard Park and the North Branch Nature Center, the event’s two hubs. Presentations, field walks, live raptors, kids’ activities, barbecue bites and a Sunday brunch are among the fun and educational happenings on the agenda. Meanwhile, biologists from across the Northeast search the city high and low to catalog local species and collect data for environmental conservation.
Price: Free; $5 for parking.
