What we’re about
Welcome to the Shasta Environmental Alliance (SEA) Meetup group! We are a community of environmentally conscious individuals united by our passion for protecting the flora, fauna, land, air, and water of the Sacramento River Watershed through advocacy and education.
Join us to connect with like-minded individuals who share interests in environmental issues in our community. Together, we will learn, hike, collaborate, and take action toward creating a more sustainable world for our families, our children, and future generations!
Be sure to fill out a waiver (each person will need to fill this out every calendar year) before you head out on a trip with us! https://www.ecoshasta.org/events/trip-event-waiver/

**To participate in this event you MUST complete and submit the registration form linked below**
Shasta Environmental Alliance is pleased to host its 3rd annual BioBlitz event to celebrate California Biodiversity Days. Join SEA Board Member Juliet Malik and fellow California Naturalist Holly White-Wolfe at Whiskeytown for a day observing and documenting the many plants, fungi, animals, and insects that call this national recreation area home via an iNaturalist BioBlitz.
We welcome people of all ages to come out and help us reach a goal of finding at least 30 species in honor of California's 30x30 initiative to conserve 30% of California lands and coastal waters by 2030 through collaborative action. Have fun learning how to identify the life around you while helping to steward and protect California biodiversity!
By joining this challenge you are participating in citizen science, and observations you make in our region will be counted towards a state-wide goal of mapping at least 30 species. Your observations are applied to understand biodiversity, track its changes over time, and direct conservation actions.
Expect to walk at least 2 miles. Wear hiking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen, and bring plenty of water and a lunch for after. The trail is rated as moderate, has a steady incline and the terrain is uneven. We will return to the picnic area by 11:30 for a lunch break and group discussion of what we observed and were able to identify.
Please no dogs except service dogs on a leash–this helps us better observe living creatures.
