Out-of-town areas to visit

I hope y'all are enjoying another gorgeous fall weekend and are just as excited to start the BioBlitz tomorrow as I am! This is another where-to-go update introducing our out-of-town locations that are included in the AppState boundaries map. Some of these are off-limits or difficult to navigate but we do have permission to explore the following locations:

• Payne Branch Park - just a couple of minutes south of Boone off of 321
• Camp Broadstone in Valle Crucis - please stay on the Lower Field (directions)
• ASU SD Farm in Fleetwood - please email the farm director to schedule your visit (directions)
• ASU Dark Sky Observatory off the Parkway - please don't block the gate

Check out the following video for more info, directions and times when there will be groups to join at some of these places! Currently, we have a farm visit planned for Fri., Oct. 28, at 10:15 AM, and we will have the gate open at the Dark Sky Observatory on Sat., Oct. 29, from 1-4 PM.
