2006 BioBlitz set for Friday, Sept.15 and Saturday, Sept. 16

Nature enthusiasts soon will get the opportunity to race around Quartz Mountain Nature Park and the Altus-Lugert State Wildlife Management Area over a 24-hour period, identifying as many living creatures as possible from the local habitats.

The sixth annual BioBlitz, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15-16, is an inventory of biological diversity in a designated area of public land.  Organized by the Oklahoma Biological Survey in the University of Oklahoma’s College of Arts and Sciences, the two-day event calls together volunteers from around the state and region to collect and identify as many different species of plant and animal life as they can find.

According to the Oklahoma Biological Survey’s Web site, “BioBlitz aims to educate people about the diversity of plant and animal life in a local area through hands-on experiences and nature interpretation."
