2024 Field Day and Bioblitz map

Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University hosted its first Bioblitz community science day in 2014, an activity which has endured to become an annual tradition.  Every year, regional experts are invited to one of the  Center for Ecology and Natural Resource Sustainbility’s (CENRS)  21 sites to mentor students and the greater community.  Together, teams explore the property, documenting all the attributes, flora, and fauna they observe.  Afterward, the information is compiled and assessed to establish baseline data, identify trends, and guide future needs.  Through CENRS, data for every site is made available to researchers and students.
