BioBlitz @ Leight Estuary Center

So what is BioBlitz? 

It is 24 fascinating hours of searching the forest, water, meadows, and air for different plants and animals. Our goal is to document the species that make Leight Park their home. Discover the natural history of our region and learn to identify the flora and fauna of the upper Bay alongside a science professional while helping us update our species list. Join us for one session or more.
