Join us for BioBlitz of all the species that live on our beautiful Blackhawk Island!
In a 12 hour time period, we will bring natural resource professionals together in an effort to inventory all the organisms that call Blackhawk Island their home. We will be looking at trees, grasses, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals throughout the day, cataloging all the species we come into contact with. Do you have a working knowledge of one of these groups of organisms? Are you interested in learning more by working alongside a professional? We are looking both for knowledgeable people to lead a small group in surveying as well as enthusiastic individuals who are interested in learning more! During the afternoon, we will take a break for a paddle around the island on the Wisconsin River.
• Survey equipment, waders, gloves, boats, and boat equipment will be provided.
• Please plan on wearing sturdy shoes, long pants, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat for the day
• Please bring sunscreen and bug spray for personal use
• Lunch on the banks of the Wisconsin River will be provided
