These events are held throughout the country to bring naturalists together, to educate communities on the vast number of species that surround us in various habitats, &nbsp;and to demonstrate the value of biodiversity to the quality of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>For the last 12 years, the Rhode Island Natural History Survey has organized annual BioBlitz events throughout Rhode Island. Their 2012 event was recently held from June 8-9 in Jamestown, on approximately 600 acres surrounding Great Creek in the central portion of the Island. This parcel contained a variable landscape that included rocky shoreline, salt marsh, mature forest, open pasture, shrub swamps, vernal pools, and freshwater streams. This year, a record number of volunteers identified 1,340 species.&nbsp; Among these were two plants never identified during past BioBlitz events, and four animals on the state\u2019s rare species list.<\/p>\n<p>After learning about the Rhode Island Bioblitz from a friend, I volunteered for the upcoming Bioblitz in the Boston-area town of Dedham, hosted by the Dedham Natural Wonders program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parecorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/flyer2012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-280\" title=\"Dedham Bioblitz Flyer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parecorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/flyer2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am excited to join other scientists and community volunteers to explore the biodiversity of various habitats in Dedham, and also look forward to some informative interaction with biologists of various backgrounds and specialties.
