Ms. Carol Boyce reports:
Our science club was not able to do the BioBlitz as planned as we were rained out, so I took another class out instead at a later date. This was a small group, so we feel we could have found more things if we had been able to spread out more. The students really enjoyed it, and were very enthusiastic especially about the variety of bugs they found!
