In case somebody is interested in participating... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Danielle Moore <DanielleMoore@dal.ca> Date: Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 4:11 PM Subject: Calling for BioBlitz Help! Hi there! I'm helping out with a BioBlitz to be conducted at the Alton Gas site in Stewiacke on December 10th. I was wondering if you would be able to forward the following message to local naturalists who might be interested in helping out with this event. We need all the help we can get - expert or not! Thanks in advance. With warmth, Danielle Moore --- Hands on, BioBlitz flora and fauna fun! Come one, come all The EAC and community volunteers are hosting a BioBlitz December 10th in Stewiacke near the proposed Alton Gas pipeline route. A BioBlitz is a fun, hands-on full-day event, involving finding and identifying as many species as possible in a short period of time. The area that we will be covering includes streams, wooded areas, fields, and near the river shore. In a BioBlitz, participating experts along with a handy field ID guide smart phone app are there to make sure that non-expert but enthusiastic and diligent people can help collect data. The more warm bodies, the more area we can cover! We need volunteers from both the expert and non-expert category! If you are a freshwater/ tree/flora fauna biologist, species expert, naturalist and want to help, please get in touch! If you are a non-expert interested to participate, learn identification skills, and help a community build science data in the face of big development, please get in touch! We’ve chosen this site because the environmental assessment for the Alton Gas project didn’t include adequate information about the ecology and species of the area that could be impacted, so we’re supporting the community to collect independent data and build a more complete understanding of this ecosystem that would be disrupted. If interested, please contact daniellemoore@dal.ca stating your relevant identification knowledge (if any) and if you have access to a vehicle. Use BioBlitz as the subject line. This event will carry on rain or shine, so please dress for the weather and bring your lunch! Approx 9am - 4pm and we will help arrange car pooling out to the site from Halifax.
