1st Annual Burnaby Lake Bioblitz May 16 2010 10am - 4pm Hosted by Metro Vancouver in celebration of the International Year of Biodiversity More details to be posted when available. Bioblitzes are very fun! I'm not sure what these folks have planned specifically, but essentially a bioblitz involves counting as many species of plants, birds, reptiles, mammals, mushrooms, bugs, fish and other critters in a specified time period. Usually related events for kids and adults occurring simultaneously with the count. There are other bioblitzes taking place in various locations in Canada on May 22nd. cheers, frog
