Event created by Claire Peterson
A BioBlitz is a fun-filled, intensified effort to document as many creatures as possible living or passing through one specific area in a set amount of time. Our BioBlitz will take place Friday and Saturday, June 10th and 11th (see attached flyer for schedule) at our Susan Creek Nature Preserve just north of Charlevoix (see map).
The BioBlitz will include opportunities to tag along with an experienced naturalist/biologist who will demonstrate how to survey or identify an organism as well as opportunities for documenting your own observations. We are encouraging you to register for the forays with experienced naturalists on our website (http://landtrust.org/wordpress/event/bioblitz-2016/) or by calling our office (231-347-0991). Otherwise, you are welcome to stop by when you can, to participate on your own, to complete a scavenger hunt, or grab a dip net to explore some pond critters!
The data you help us collect is valuable information that will help us steward the nature preserve; we can better protect something when we know it's there! A baseline of biological data will strengthen the long-term protection of this area and we hope you will have fun and enjoy hands-on learning opportunities while participating! Please feel free to contact Cacia Lesh (231-344-1002, cacia@landtrust.org) with any questions.
