The South River Greenway BioBlitz will occur over a 24-hourperiod where scientists of various disciplines will offer their expertise to gain a snapshot of the flora, fauna, and other taxa within the parkland.

Thanks for spreading the word, Paul. This is a gorgeous forested stream valley that locals need to see and hike, they will love it. See how your Program Open Space dollars are being spent on acquiring parcels within the Greenway, and experience at what will be the largest park in the AA County park system. Thanks to County Exec. Leopold and former parks dir. Frank Marzucco for their vision to preserve these ecologically valuable lands before they are gobbled up. I'm a board member of Scenic Rivers Land Trust, and I invite you to come join us for the Bioblitz or other outing in the Greenway
Janet Thanks. Will politicians be there to campaign???
