3rd ANNUAL BIOBLITZ! The community participated with Park Naturalists and natural resources professionals from the Chesapeake Bay region as they led guided expeditions during our Third Annual BioBlitz. So what is a BioBlitz? It’s an environmental treasure hunt! Two fun-filled days were spent searching for plants and animals that make their home in the park while collecting valuable data with the scientists. The public was encouraged to come to any of the sessions. See the schedule below for details and times from our 2008 Bioblitz.
