This particular BioBlitz will run from 5:00am-5:00pm on Sunday, June 5th in areas of Schenley Park surround Phipps Conservatory and Panther Hollow. During this event, experts, will work together with the public to inventory and document all living organisms observed in the park. In addition to the biological survey, a number of tours are planned and there will be a free festival taking place at the Conservatory that will host a variety of community activities, presentations and demonstrations for guests of all ages to participate in.
Full details about the days events are available on the Phipps website including an event listing and map. WPMC will have a table manned by Mycologist La Monte Yarroll and other club members. The WPMC currently plan to identify mushrooms throughout the day.
The meeting point for the walk will be the clubs table in the Botany Hall at 10 am. Due to the restrictions at the site only registered Scientists and Experts can actually pick specimens for analysis. We plan on taking a walk around area and you will either need to ask La Monte to pick the specimen for difficult to identify species or identify and note the species name of more common species. You can also take a picture of the specimens with your phone camera and La Monte and other volunteers will attempt to identify the species from the image.

Sometimes the address and location information for a meeting point is not 100% accurate. Some parks and meeting point do not have a street address so it is difficult to program the map to point to the exact location.

We request that no one hunts a walk or foray location for at least two weeks prior to a walk or foray. It is only through your cooperation that we can have successful walks and forays. All walks & forays will be held rain or shine. Come 15-30 min early and socialize. All walks start on time, so be early, if you are late we will already be in the woods. If you are a club member and have already joined our Facebook Group you can find last minute additions or changes there.
