Duquesne University’s Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Science will hold its 2014 BioBlitz at Duff Park in Murrysville on September 26-27.

A BioBlitz is a 24-hour event in which teams of volunteer scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to find and identify as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible.

The BioBlitz has been organized by Dr. Kyle Selcer, and is sponsored by Duquesne University's Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences and Center for Environmental Research and Education, as well as by the Friends of the Murrysville Parks and the Murrysville Trail Alliance.
