At a BioBlitz, teams of scientists, school students and volunteers work together in a race against time to find and identify as many species as possible. A Bioblitz is part scientific research, part exploration and part celebration. This spring there will be a chance for all to discover and explore biodiversity in the Sinnemahoning State Park. Come and join in for the chance to dive into the wonders of the Pennsylvania Wilds for two days of biodiversity mayhem!
Sinnemahoning State Park will host the 2013 BioBlitz. The Park is located in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds and encompasses 1,910 acres nestled in the Elk State Forest. The First Fork of the Sinnemahoning a High Quality stream, cuts through the center of the park.Four tributaries of the First Fork that flow through the park are classified as Class A streams and another is classed as an Exceptional Value stream.The park hosts a diversity of habitats including mixed hardwood forests, emergent wetlands, forested wetlands, grassy fields, flood plains, vernal ponds, steams, and a reservoir.
