Tree Teams Specimen Sorting
Part of the All Taxa Biodiversity
Inventory
in the Smokies
Feb. 9 and May 10, 4:00 - 7:00 pm
Free; pre-registration required |
|
The public is invited to participate in this
fascinating science project. This long-term study involves
documenting invertebrate life in high elevation forests of the
American Beech tree in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Collections were made last season, and now we are helping sort the
specimens. No experience or knowledge is necessary and all
equipment is provided. This is an informal session where we
closely examine the material and sort it into categories, plus get
to learn about the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory in the Smokies. We
all look at the specimens found in the samples and help decide the
categories. It's fun, and free, and open to anyone who is
interested! Registration is required
and space is limited due to limitations on microscopes and sorting equipment.
Give is a call at 828-274-5430, or email us at
