2020 BIOBLITZ at Coyote Run Farm
|
Join us for the BioBlitz at Coyote Run on April 25
|
Ohio Wetlands Association invites interested naturalists (experts and learners) to join our effort to observe, discover, and report on the diversity of all living things at Coyote Run.
The BioBlitz officially starts at 9 am and goes to 4 pm, but you may arrive and leave at any time. Early birding activities begin at 7 am. Minnow traps will be set the night before for you to examine the day of the BioBlitz for those interested in amphibians, etc. We’ll have after-hours Owling. Bring a camper or tent and stay Friday and/or Saturday night if you like. (110V hookups are available). Morning snacks and lunch will be provided.
Participants are asked to use iNaturalist to report observations to the Coyote Run project (manual methods will be accepted). We currently have over 4,700 observations and over 1,500 species. For iNaturalist specifics, go to https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/coyote‐run‐farm .
No cost registration is requested. If you are interested in registering, please send an email to tmfp@icloud.com. Include your name, preferred email, area of interest, and if you plan to camp with us.
Coyote Run is a private farm on about 900 acres southeast of Pickerington, Ohio. About half the land is in agricultural production, with the rest in Conservation Reserve Programs or other programs. The near-term goal is to restore all non-agricultural areas as natural conditions as possible. The long-term goal is to further protect and restore the property in perpetuity.
Habitats for exploration include wetlands, vernal pools, riparian, pond, forest, and prairie (warm-season grasses).
Ohio Wetlands Association is a state-wide, all-volunteer, 501(C)3, nonprofit organization. OWA serves to protect, restore, and enjoy Ohio’s wetlands and associated ecosystems through science‐based programs, education, and advocacy.
Let us know if you are interested and would like more information as it becomes available.
Directions: Meet at 9270 Pickerington Road, Pickerington, Ohio, to check-in.
