Several things to share
The First Annual UMass Bioblitz happened on Sept 23rd and we had ~70 participants! The Biology Department sponsored this event. Students traveled around the campus led by faculty, undergrad, graduate student and post-doc naturalists. They identified the organisms they encountered and took a count of the species diversity.
