HI All,
Friends of Sax-Zim Bog's Third Annual Bog BioBlitz and it will be bigger than
ever! Now an all-day event. Saturday June 27th, 2015.
Go in the field with experts in many areas including birds, spiders,
dragonflies, butterflies, wildflowers, sedges, fishes and more! Then we'll all
meet back at the Welcome Center in the afternoon to share our discoveries. Each
expert will give a report on what their group found.
The Biodiversity of the Bog continues to amaze us (300 species were recorded
last year). Join us as we continue to explore this magical place. BYOS (Bring
your own Stuff... including Lunch and drinks, rubber boots, bug dope, snacks).
Bird trips will be earlier (meet at Welcome Center at 6:45am) and other trips
