From Susan Elbin of NYCAS:
Greetings!
NYC Audubon has been asked to help with a 2013 Central Park BioBlitz, and we are looking for volunteers to help. The Blitz is a joint effort of CUNY's Macaulay Honors College and the Central Park Conservancy, which will take place from 3 pm on Monday, August 26 to 1 pm on August 27. The BioBlitz is is an opportunity to not only catalogue as many species of flora and fauna as possible in the park, but also to educate the public about the importance of the biodiversity that exists right here in our city. We need birders to cover Central Park in 3 hour shifts over the 24 hour event. Each participant will be asked to take out a small group of CUNY students and educate them about birding and the importance of the birds in NYC.
If you are interested, can help, or have suggestions of people who may be interested, please email Kaitlyn and me for more details. It should be a fun event - and a good opportunity to inspire new birders.
thanks so much.
good birding!
Susan
