BIOBLITZ results
We had a great day on Oct. 31 for our first ever bioblitz in Waterfront South.
What's a bioblitz you may ask?
Scientists from the Academy of Natural Sciences including the zoo, and the Camden Aquarium Academy came with Camden residents to walk around the neighborhood to discover all of the plant and animal species of the neighborhood in various ecosystems including the gardens, meadows, and ripirian areas for a few hours. It was the day after the first frost of the year. We'd like to continue to delve into hosting bioblitzes throughout the seasons!
Here's what we found.
