Following on the heels of the very successful BioBlitz coordinated by the Kingston Field Naturalists in 2015, the second annual Wintergreen BioBlitz will take place from 2:00 pm June 4th to 2:00 pm June 5th. This is a 24-hour event, rain or shine! Come one, come all! Learn to love our Mother Earth by coming to know her amazing diversity and great gifts during the Wintergreen 2016 BioBlitz.

The goal of a BioBlitz is to bring together scientists and naturalists, along with members of the general public, to identify as many plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible in a 24-hour period, thus giving a snapshot of the biodiversity of the site. This one day inventory of the living things in an area provides a baseline for observing future changes that could occur due to global warming or invasive species.

At the Wintergreen BioBlitz, both amateur and professional naturalists will join forces to spot and identify species and to educate each other and the public about the diversity of the location. Our goal is to locate and identify over 1,000 species at Wintergreen. less ↑
