The BioBlitz is Here!

Hi Everyone,

We've kicked off the 2017 Amargosa BioBlitz with a bang at our reception at China Ranch this evening, and members of our group have already begun to identify species in the field. We have a group of 40 attending this event, and will begin our field orientation tomorrow morning at 7 am!

In case you are interested, our BioBlitz has gotten some press! I was interviewed by the Associated Press (AP) and KNX 1070 News Radio, and the story has been picked up by news outlets around the world. Here are some links:
