Welcome to the 2008 Saint Louis Bioblitz

You are invited to join scientists, naturalists, and enthusiasts in exploring Forest Park's undiscovered wonders at the Saint Louis BioBlitz. For those who love nature, this is an event not to miss.

Led by the Academy of Science, the growing list of environmental partners include: The Explorers Club, Missouri Botanical Garden, Saint Louis Zoo, Forest Park Forever, Missouri Department of Conservation, Saint Louis Parks Department, Saint Louis Science Center, Botanical Society of America, Butterfly House, Mycological Society, Saint Louis Audubon Society, Missouri Native Plant Society, Webster Groves Nature Study Society, Wild Bird Sanctuary, and World Aquarium.

What is the Saint Louis BioBlitz?

The BioBlitz is a 24-hour exploration and inventory of the life in Forest Park. Teams of public volunteers lead by biologists will search natural areas within the park, listing as many different species as they can find. At the end of the day, the participants will have a new appreciation of the biodiversity in this very special place we know as Forest Park.
