About
Friends of Sax-Zim Bog has made this an annual summer event. In its 13th year, the BioBlitz continues to grow with the addition of new field trips and experts, documentation of species in new areas of the Bog, and increased attendance by naturalists and curious outdoors folks alike. The concept of a bioblitz started a couple decades ago, with the noble cause of documenting species before they were lost in the rainforest. The concept evolved in North America to become an educational event and we continued the importance of education and documentation in our bioblitz!
All leaders share information about the species targeted on each field trip and in turn, we all get to learn about what folks found interesting and exciting during the compilation at the end of the day. These two items (and our excellent field trip leaders!) make for a very enjoyable and educational day! Registration opens in mid-June, so be sure to check back later for the full field trip schedule!
