Join us
for BioBlitz 2008
On September 5 and 6,
Reflection Riding will join
the Chattanooga Nature
Center, Tennessee Aquarium,
and UTC, to host the second
annual Chattanooga BioBlitz.
Last year this outstanding
event brought together over
200 scientists, volunteers
and program participants
from around the region to
explore and celebrate our
region’s extraordinary
biodiversity. Over the
course of 24 hours, almost
700 species of plants and
animals residing at the
nature center, Reflection
Riding and in Lookout Creek
were counted and identified.
This event, besides being a
serious scientific endeavor,
is also an educational
outreach to our community.
The public is invited to
observe scientists at work,
participate in games and
hikes, and learn about local
conservation efforts.
The BioBlitz results will be
made available to the public
through the CNC website and
through the media. If you
would like to find out more
about participating in the
event, please contact Kyle
Waggener at 821-1160 x. 112
OR to register for
educational programming,
please call the Tennessee
Aquarium at 267-FISH (3474).
