The National Geographic Society and National Park Service are organizing a BioBlitz in Rock Creek Park in May 2007. A BioBlitz is a 24-hour effort to record as many living species within the park as possible. Teams of scientists and volunteers of all specialties are needed to find and identify organisms. The event will highlight the diversity of life within an urban setting and provide information on how to preserve that diversity for future generations. The Rock Creek Park BioBlitz is the first in a series of ten BioBlitzes at National Parks around the country, in preparation for the Park Service's centennial in 2016.
