Do you live in the Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity, or Siskiyou area? Do you have a backyard, farm, or piece of property?
If so, YOU can contribute to the CalATBI!
California is one of only 36 biodiversity hotspots on planet Earth, and much of California’s diversity remains unexplored. Join us for a BioBlitz to collect soil biodiversity samples across the North Coast! We are particularly interested in collecting soil samples from natural areas with native plant cover. Does that sound like your backyard, farm, piece of property? If so, sign up today.
