Bioblitz Long Point in 2023!
The 2022 Long Point Bioblitz, coordinated by BiodiversityWorks and The Trustees of Reservations, was a great success and a lot of fun. We ended up documenting about 315 species, including a first Vineyard record of the Kalmia miner bee, Andrena kalmiae. From 5:00 pm Friday, June 16, 2023, through 5:00 pm Saturday, June 17, 2023, we're going to do it again! We hope to see many 2022 participants returning to the field to help us beat last year's species count.
Interested? Block out some time on those days on your calendar. (Keep in mind that there will be mothing event on the evening of June 16.) Plan on as much or as little time as you want; you'll be able to join a team led by an expert naturalist, or else participate on your own just by visiting Long Point during the event and photographing what you find. In either case, we'll collect data by uploading observations into iNaturalist, so make sure you have an account and know how to submit data.
If you'll be able to help us, please join the project we've set up for the Bioblitz. I'll be using that to communicate with participants, and it'll be the place to view results after the event. The project name is "Long Point Bioblitz 2023," and the URL for it is this:

Also, please take a moment to register for the event by filling out the Google form at this address. I'll use these forms to produce an email list to distribute schedules, directions, and other information prior to the event:
