BioBlitz Biodiversity Poster

BioBlitz Biodiversity Poster
Biscayne National Park was recently the host of the 2010 BioBlitz, a 24-hour species count of as many living things as possible. As part of that event, this very attractive poster was created with a number of lesson plans and educational activities on back. Please, take a look at those lesson plans and activities. If you decide that you would like to have a supply of these posters for your classroom, let us know. We'll be happy to ship a supply of posters to a good home!

Pioneer home on Elliott Key

Elliott Key and other islands in Biscayne National Park were settled under the Homestead Act of 1862. This law gave free land to settlers willing to live on and farm a piece of land for five years. The main crops planted here were pineapples and key limes.
