Hi class,

A reminder that this weekend is BioBlitz – I hope that you’re excited to participate! Just a couple quick reminders:

  • WEAR LONG PANTS, SOCKS, AND SNEAKERS. This is very important. While it is forecast to be sunny and warm this weekend (mid-to-high 70s), you need to have long pants and closed-toed shoes appropriate for varied terrain, and comfortable, durable socks. There is a lot of poison ivy (which will not kill you, but will make you very uncomfortable) in the park. Layers are always a good call.
  • Be sure to wear your BioBlitz shirt.
  • Arrive early. You know the MTA, you know how lovely it can be at times. Plan for extra time, as Inwood Hill Park is on the northern tip of Manhattan. Also, be sure to get off at the Dyckman St. A train station, not any other part of the park.

If you have questions, please ask via email. I’ll be there Sunday, so if you’re on then, I’ll see you there.

-Jake
