Greetings all. We do a number of forays each year in conjunction with organized nature surveys across the state. A couple of weeks ago we went out in Johnson County with the Indiana Academy of Science. This weekend (5/30-31/15) we are working with the Indiana Forest alliance for a very important cause.
This event is part of the Indiana Forest Alliance Bioblitz. A bioblitz is a survey of all of the living organisms across an area. Very soon, important parts of the BackCountry Area at Morgan-Monroe State Forest will be logged. For the last two years, teams of experts from every field of biology has been conducting surveys of the area to see how it changes before and after logging takes place.
We will be heading out at 9am on Saturday (5/30) and Sunday (5/31). We will be meeting at the BackCountry Camping Area parking lot on Low Gap Road in Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Come out at 9am each day to help with Team Fungi! Stay in the afternoon to walk with experts in other fields. Call Steve Russell at 765-532-4227 if you have any questions.
There will be several more weekends this year at this same location.
