BioBlitz Is Back! BEAT Is Co-Sponsoring.

Jane signals start of BioBlitz with a conch shell

The second annual Berkshire BioBlitz will take place June 10 and 11, 2011, on Mount Greylock in Adams, Massachusetts, and once again, BEAT is one of the sponsors for the event. Bioblitz is an action-packed day designed as part scientific endeavor, part contest, part environmental festival, and part educational program. During a Bioblitz, scientists come together in a race against time to count as many species as they can in a given area over a 24-hour period. In the midst of it all they still find time to interact with students, children, and adults during specially arranged programs over the course of the 24 hours. The Berkshire Bioblitz is organized by the Berkshire Museum and is co-sponsored by BEAT, the Berkshire MCLA STEM Pipeline, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and Dr. Augie’s. Come join the fun. The full schedule of events will be available soon. Visit the Berkshire BioBlitz website (which is maintained and hosted by BEAT).
