Thank you for your interest in the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association (ELNA) 2024 Earth Day weekend events. Sign up below for an informative talk about local ecosystems or species followed by an opportunity to take part in the Bioblitz.
A Bioblitz? What’s that?
A Bioblitz is a community citizen-science effort to record as many species within a designated location and time period as possible. The first BioBlitz was held in Washington, D.C. in 1996. Approximately 1000 species were identified at this first event.
