Cahaba Environmental Center 2019 BioBlitz - April 27-28, 2019, Cahaba Environmental Center

https://www.cahabaec.org/cec-2019-bioblitz.html

Cahaba Environmental Center will be hosting our first ever bioblitz, and we want you to be there.

Who are we?
The Cahaba Environmental Center (CEC) at Living River is an outdoor, experiential education organization. The CEC offers a variety of programming that connects learners of all ages to the ecology and wonder of the Cahaba River Watershed.

What is a bioblitz?
A BioBlitz is a 24-hour event in which teams of volunteer scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to find and identify as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible.

We will offer free onsite camping or $5 to stay in a youth cabin (16 bunk beds and 2 twin size beds), all overnight options are first come, first serve. We will also provide dinner and breakfast for the bioblitzers!

We are also part of the Cahaba Blueway Project, and are proud to have the first Cahaba Blueway sign installation! This is a great project that helps citizens get connected to their watershed. We will be having a dedication ceremony at 3 pm during the event if you would like to join us.

I'm interested! Now what?
Please register at https://forms.gle/GrmgTGvQFA1g2rwa7 in order to receive food and a camping spot.

If you have any questions, please email seasonalstaff@livingriver.org

We hope to see you there!
