The Ohio Conservation Alliance is a consortium of Cleveland area professionals involved in research, education, and conservation. We will host a BioBlitz that will focus on obtaining a count of all living species in an urban park with grass lawn, artificial pond, stream, and forest fragment habitats. We will involve up to three Cleveland city schools (middle and high school students) and teach them how to conduct the count, and instill a sense of stewardship and the idea that every species counts - even in an urban setting! Entomologists, botanists, zoologists, phycologists, and mycologists will be present. This is free and open to public participation.
