BioBlitz 2006
BioBlitz 2006 was held on June 9th & 10th at the Cumberland Monastery, 1464 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland, RI.
Covering more than 500 acres, the property includes large hay fields, abandoned fields, farm ponds, wetlands, a small tributary of the Blackstone River, and a variety of forests. There are areas with high levels of human disturbance, areas where invasive plants pervade, and areas of comparative natural stability. The upland forest and characteristic northern RI soils hosts a different suite of species than found in previous Rhode Island BioBlitzes. BioBlitz 2006 was sponsored by the Town of Cumberland, Cumberland Conservation Commission, Lincoln Land Trust, and Blackstone River Watershed Council with support of Largess Forestry.

Scientists and Naturalists with taxonomic expertise form the core of a BioBlitz. However, volunteers of all sorts are needed to assist in the field, do data entry, greet the public and lend a hand on a myriad of tasks - especially during set-up and break-down. How better to spend time in one of Rhode Island’s beautiful, historic places, than helping to identify and document the state’s amazing biological diversity?
