Jane Winn from BEAT had the honor of officially starting BioBlitz at noon by blowing a loud blast on a conch shell. (“I knew I played trombone in high school for a good reason!”)
\nThe BioBlist started with 120 Pittsfield elementary school children joining scientists to collect and identify species. The kids were great! Really interested, observant, and enthusiastic. Thank you to the kids and their teachers for such a great start!<\/p>\n

What is BioBlitz? A BioBlitz (aka Biodiversity Day) 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.<\/p>\n

At first count, we found 313 species of vascular plants, 47 fungi, 16 mammals, 3 reptiles, 9 amphibians, 73 lichens, 110 bryophytes, and 65 birds at the first Berkshire BioBlitz at Pittsfield State Forest.<\/p>\n
