No registration necessary! Bring your camera or smart phone to take pictures of plants, fungi, and wildlife as you hike trails and beaches and explore historic gun batteries! Download the iNaturalist app or Seek app on your smart phone to upload pictures and observations directly to the project page.

Help us document the wild at Fort Worden State Park from June 6th- 7th! By uncovering the diverse range of life within the park, we can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for its ecology.

The Fort Worden Spring BioBlitz is a two-day, self-guided event. It begins when the park opens (6:30 a.m.) on June 6th and continues until the park closes (9:30 p.m.) on June 7th.

Join us at The Commons on Saturday, June 7th from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. for an interactive celebration of citizen science and stewardship! Experts from various fields of science will have displays that showcase some of the unique flora and fauna of the park. Saturday is also a Discover Pass free day!!

For more information about how to participate in a BioBlitz, please visit the iNaturalist project page.

Note: If you are camping at the park, you may continue to record sightings from your campsite at night! Day use visitors must adhere to the park hours. It is important to stay on designated trails while visiting the area to ensure safety and protect the environment. By following these guidelines, you are not only protecting yourself and other visitors but also preserving the habitats of countless plants, fungi, and animals. To ensure you don't get lost, download a copy of the trail map or pick one up from the park office.
