2015 Berkshire BioBlitz was sponsored by Mass Audubon’s Berkshire Sanctuaries. The goal, as with every BioBlitz (sometimes called “Biodiversity Day” in some towns), was to see how many species we can find in a given area in the 24 hour period of the BioBlitz.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
Sincerely yours,
