final results for June Biodiversity Challenge bioblitz
Thanks everyone for participating in the bioblitz. The final results are now in. From June 9 - 12, we had a total of 86 observations, of 76 species, by 14 different observers. Those are modest numbers, but this project was set up with essentially no promotion. Red Deer joined over 100 municipalities participating in summer bioblitzes across western Canada and northwestern USA. We hope to run spring, summer and fall bioblitzes every year, so hopefully we can do a little publicity before the next one, scheduled for Sept. 15-18, 2022.
If you're interested in coordinating this or another bioblitz in western Canada, get in touch with me.
