Description

Join Richmond National Battlefield Park in our second Bioblitz EVER at Gaines Mill! A Bioblitz is an all-day event of biological surveying to record all living species within a designated area. We will be surveying birds, mammals, amphibians/reptiles, bugs, plants, and fish. Each participant will join a team led by a local expert and spend a few hours in the park looking for living species. Come and celebrate local biodiversity with us!

If interested, please contact Claire_murphy@partner.nps.gov. We will post a schedule for each team soon.

*No team will be spending more than 4 hours at the park at one time*
