The Briarwood Bio Bash is one-of-a-kind — a weekend for all ages to explore, learn, and connect with nature in the most hands-on way possible. Throughout the event, you can jump into an incredible variety of workshops, from cultivating edible mushrooms to designing your own pollinator garden, all led by remarkable presenters from across Louisiana.
While you’re here, join the iNaturalist BioBlitz and help us document the biodiversity of Briarwood. This friendly competition kicks off Friday at registration and runs through Sunday, when we’ll crown the winner with a lifetime friendship to Briarwood. Every observation you log contributes to our ongoing research, helping us map the GPS coordinates of every living organism on the property. Please review rest of this site for all information.
2025 date is September 26th, 27th, and 28th!
Contact Curator Bayli Brossette via email briarwoodnp@gmail.com with any questions, comments, or concerns.
