Bioblitz
An
eager and talented group of scientists, educators and nature
enthusiasts visited Drift Creek Camp, Lincoln City, Oregon, on May
23-24 to identify as many organisms as possible within a 24-hour period
of time. We were blessed with good weather and a team of experts in
native plants, birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles, mushrooms, fish,
mammals and photography and some inquisitive children. Over 200 species
were identified including the marbled murrelet and western toad.
Many
of these expert naturalists plan to return to DCC during other
seasons to
continue developing an inventory of the biodiversity in this late
succession coastal rainforest ecosystem in the Siuslaw National Forest.
We plan to use the information gathered and knowledge gained to
enhance, enrich and expand the opportunities for guests of DCC to
appreciate, respect and care for nature. You can view the results in a
searchable database or static table with links to photographs.
