NRPA is hosting a BioBlitz Planning Hub Call on June 24, 2025 at 1 p.m. ET designed to support agencies in planning and marketing their BioBlitz events. This event will feature two speakers, Karyn Molines (Calvert County, MD), and Mari Barnes (Riverside, IL). Karyn Molines is in the Natural Resources department at Calvert County, and will speak on how the BioBlitz supports park maintenance—drawing on her experience using the BioBlitz data to inform maintenance practices. Mari Barnes is a grant manager at Riverside Park District and will speak on moving to a low-tech BioBlitz, troubleshooting technology challenges and making space for intergenerational teaching. Whether this is your first year or your seventh year BioBlitzing, we hope you will join us to learn and share tips from your BioBlitz journey!
