Dear colleagues, I'm organizing the third annual Macaulay Honors College BioBlitz that is taking place at the future Freshkills Park on Staten Island on August 29-30, 2015. Our BioBlitz teams up our 500 sophomores with scientists and others who have expertise with local species for a celebration of urban biodiversity and an experience with ecological data collection. Freshkills Park is particularly exciting because NYC has been working hard to turn this former landfill into a place for public recreation.
We have most groups of organisms covered but we are in need of some bee and wasp expertise on August 30. If you are local to NYC and are interested in leading a small team of students through this unique landscape to ID bees and wasps, let me know and I can provide more information. Thanks! Kelly
