Collectively we know so little about the eco-systems in our own backyards. Lets explore the creatures under our feet, in the water and over our heads by conducting bio blitz that will be documented by professional photographer Scott Lapham. Each bio blast will conclude by sharing a composite photograph showcasing the plants, animals, textures, colors and landscapes we find from each eco-system explored. It is more important that ever for us all to be curious and to more deeply understand that everything in our natural world is interconnected.
* Bio Blitz - (events where interested participants document as much flora and fauna in a prescribed area during a prescribed time as possible)
