Wildlife Specialists participates in Asaph Wild Area BioBlitz

6/30/2016

 
A BioBlitz is a one-time event designed to produce a rapid assessment of the biodiversity of a special site.  Teams of experts canvass the area for a few days, searching the most likely habitats for species, and developing a species list.  While not a full species list for a site, this provides a good snapshot of many of the components.  

The Asaph Wild Area is a large forested tract managed by DCNR in northern Tioga County Pennsylvania that is high Appalachian plateau with numerous high elevation wetland communities.  Approximately 45 specialists converged on this area for 2 days, including Stan Boder and Merlin Benner from Wildlife Specialists.  Stan helped develop the herpetological species list, while Merlin worked on bats and mapping some of the wetlands with the UAS of Remote Intelligence.  

This photo is one of two rare Silver-haired Bats captured on during the BioBlitz.
