We had people of all ages and backgrounds working together to search for and document species. We knew that the BioBlitz needed to become an annual event,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>During a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get a snapshot of an area\u2019s biodiversity. Participants can join group species surveys led by experts, or can explore on their own, documenting the plants and animals that they find with photos using cell phones or cameras.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to searching for species, BioBlitz participants will have the chance to explore their creativity in nature by joining creative writing workshops, including a nature poetry workshop led by poet and UAB professor Halley Cotton and a nature journaling workshop led by environmental educator Amy Sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BioBlitz at Cahaba River Park seemed like a perfect opportunity to bring back the Cahaba River Ramble, taking advantage of the phenomenal running trails on site,\u201d said Casey Laycock, Cahaba River Society Development Director and Race Marshall. Cahaba River Society previously hosted the popular trail race at the Cahaba National Wildlife Refuge, but the event had been put on hiatus in recent years due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRunners can bring friends and family to watch the race, and then join in the BioBlitz activities. The whole day\u2019s events are a wonderful melding of Cahaba River Society\u2019s goals of encouraging environmental education and outdoor recreation while giving people the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Cahaba River,\u201d Laycock said.<\/p>\n<p>Participation in the BioBlitz is free, and those who register ahead of time will receive info and instructions by email. The Cahaba River Ramble is the primary fundraiser for Cahaba River Society\u2019s Shane Hulsey CLEAN Environmental Education program, and online registration will remain open until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 14. Racers can also register on site the day of the race with cash or check.
