BioBlitz 2011

24-hour BioBlitz

Schoolkids, scientists and the general public teamed up for 24 hours of fieldwork from noon to noon, June 25-26, 2011 at Lake Vermilion State Park and Soudan Underground Mine State Park.

Together, they counted, mapped and studied the parks' diverse organisms, ranging from microscopic bacteria to moose. The program added to the parks' official species lists, and helped highlight the importance of local and regional biodiversity.
