PC Family, Kerrville TX - 2025 City Nature Challenge bioblitz

Thank you, for leading our group this passed Saturday. My husband joined us, and as a family we had the best time observing and learning about all the things we found. We were out every day right up until midnight on Monday taking picture of the moths around our porch lights. Haha! The four of us combined ended up with just over 1,000 observations! Our son surpassed his goal of 200 and finished with 311.

Thank you again. We can’t wait for next year!
