In partnership with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the Mount Washington Community Development Corporation is holding a BioBlitz in Emerald View Park, Pittsburgh’s newest Regional Park located in Mount Washington, Duquesne Heights, and Allentown.

The BioBlitz will bring together scientists, students, and community members of all ages to:

 Conduct a biological inventory and produce a “snapshot” of as many living things as we can find in Emerald View Park.

 Engage in hands-on science education.

 Promote Emerald View Park and connect people to our urban natural spaces.

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.
