Join
the BioBlitz
Scientists
BioBlitzes depend on the expertise of scientists. The chart below
is a rough (and somewhat arbitrary) guide to the major groups of
organisms for the purposes of the BioBlitz. If you have expertise
with a particular taxon and would like to join the BioBlitz, please
use the Registration Form (at the
bottom of this page). Once you register, we'll put you in touch
with a "taxon leader," who will coordinate your team's
survey efforts. We're also asking scientists to share some of their
time and knowledge with other BioBlitz participants who want to
learn more about a given taxon.
Naturalists
If
you have a general interest in nature (but no particular expertise
with a given group) you may be able to join scientists during survey
work, or take a guided walk on the BioBlitz site. Use the Registration
Form (at the bottom of this page) to register as a "Generalist"
and be sure to include your particular area of growing interest.
Volunteers
The BioBlitz needs volunteers to help with planning,
set-up, clean-up, and other activities during the big event. If
you'd like to volunteer for this noble effort use
the Registration Form (at the bottom
of this page) to register as a "Volunteer." Thanks!
