Help Participate in the California All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (CalATBI) by collecting soil samples from your own backyard!

California is one of only 36 biodiversity hotspots on planet Earth. The immense scale of California’s diversity means much of it remains unexplored, with thousands of species yet to be discovered. CalATBI is a specimen-based, DNA-powered effort to finally discover all of California’s biodiversity.

CalATBI efforts include conducting field work to find unexplored biodiversity, sequencing millions of specimens to build a DNA barcode reference library, developing next-generation technologies to accelerate discovery, and preserving biodiversity specimens and samples for the benefit of future generations.

Our goal is to save our precious biodiversity today, for tomorrow and always.

You can help by participating in our North Coast BioBlitz September 22nd through October 10th.
We are particularly interested in collecting soil samples from natural areas with native plant cover. Does that sound like your backyard or other private land you have access to with landowner permission? If so, please visit our to sign up!

This month’s Science on Tap is extra wild! 🦭 We’re thrilled to welcome Claire Nasr, M.S., Executive Director of the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust, for a lively talk all about marine mammals.
With more than 15 years of hands-on experience working with pinnipeds (that’s seals and sea lions!), Claire will spotlight the species that call Humboldt County home. Expect field stories, fun facts, and answers to those classic curiosities you’ve always wondered about. Claire’s scientific expertise—and her deep love for the North Coast’s wild places—make her the perfect guide for this ocean adventure. 🌊

✨ Doors open at 6 PM! Arrive early to snag a seat and sip a local brew from Paskenta Mad River Brewery while you settle in.

💙 All donations support Science on Tap and in-stream restoration projects by the Eel River Watershed Improvement Group—thank you for helping keep these events going strong!

☀️ The weather’s looking nice, so dress comfortably—sunhat and shades encouraged. And if you can, carpool with friends (parking is limited).

Science on Tap fosters collaboration among local advocates for natural resources. Let's create a platform for sharing ideas and inspire resilience in environmental restoration for generations to come. Join us in building an inclusive space that welcomes everyone into the environmental community, making knowledge accessible and enjoyable for all in a laid-back and fun setting. See you there!
