The 2024 Upper Delaware BioBlitz will be held on June 28th and 29th at The Highlights Foundation Retreat Center in Boyds Mills, Wayne County, PA.
Eight teams of scientists and amateur naturalists will gather to begin their collection of every unique species of plant, animal, fungus and lichen they can find in 24 hours.
Some teams, like the Mammal Team looking for bats and the Insect Team looking for night flying insects, will work through the night.
The public can meet scientists from different disciplines, see what they have collected, and take a tour of the site to learn how different species live and thrive in the context of the overall property.
Radio Catskill’s Joe Johnson spoke to Steve Schwartz, BioBlitz organizer, about the event’s return to the area.
