A BioBlitz brings together scientists in a race against time to see how many species they can count in a 24-hour biological survey. In 2005, the Urbana Park District hosted a BioBlitz and it was a success with 800 people involved in identifying over 1,200 species!

To celebrate Anita Purves Nature Center’s 40th anniversary, we are organizing a 2019 Busey Woods BioBlitz event from noon September 27 to noon September 28. The goal is to add species to the Busey Woods list and compare species documented with those found in the summer of 2005.

Come observe the scientists’ activities, interact with them and participate in a hike or watch a presentation. All hikes and presentations are free but require preregistration by go here: https://signup.com/go/ypricVK
