Hello faithful  BioBlitzers!


Wanted to extend a personal invitation  to March's BioBlitz in Golden Gate 
National Park. Scientist registration will  open later this fall, but I hope 
you will mark your calendars now, and plan to  lead a school group or 
public inventory...or several!  :)


You are on our master spreadsheet, and we'll be sure to  let you know as 
soon as you can sign up online.

Thanks as always for your  support, and we look forward to seeing you in 
San  Francisco!


Cheers
Catherine

HI Sam,

Just  saw some great coverage of your work in the WSJ! I hope you are 
planning to join  us for March's BioBlitz in Golden Gate NP. Scientist 
registration will open  later this fall, but we certainly hope you will join us!

Best  wishes
Catherine

Dear Colleague:

The National Geographic  Society and the National Park Service are teaming 
up to conduct a  BioBlitz 
<http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/projects/bioblitz/> in the Golden Gate National Parks <http://www.nps.gov/goga> 
on March 28–29,  2014. We are currently recruiting taxonomists, field  
biologists and naturalists to participate in the Golden Gate  BioBlitz, and we 
invite you to join  us!

BioBlitz is an all-taxa  species inventory in which teams of volunteers,  
each led by an expert scientist, find and identify as many species  as 
possible within a 24-hour period.  One of the most exciting aspects of  the 
BioBlitz is the rare opportunity for scientists to take  collections in a national 
park.  In addition, the  BioBlitz is a chance to create broader impacts 
through  public outreach, science education and media coverage of this 
scientific  endeavor. 

More details about the event and the park are in the attached  FAQs and 
map. We have also attached a save the date card that you are welcome to  share 
with colleagues, graduate students and others who might be  interested.

If you are interested in participating in the  BioBlitz, or would like more 
information, please reply to this  message or contact one of us directly 
(details below). We will keep you on  our contact list and be in touch with 
you in the months  ahead.
