2008 Saint Louis Bioblitz
Information
The Saint Louis BioBlitz is a 24-hour inventory of all
living organisms in Forest Park. Teams of scientists
and naturalists with expertise in various taxa, aided
by a cadre of volunteers, will observe and record as
many species as possible during the 24-hour time period.
The two major goals of the BioBlitz are to learn about
the presence of new species from as many taxonomic groups
as possible, and to increase public awareness of the
local biodiversity and that it can exist within an urban
environment. In addition, there will be numerous community
activities to give you an opportunity to learn about
Forest Park and the Missouri environment.
May 30th & 31st, 2008
The Saint Louis BioBlitz will begin at 3pm on May 30th,
2008 and will end at 3pm the following day.
The BioBlitz headquarters will be located at the Visitor
Center in Forest Park.
