Join Elizabeth Farnsworth and Nancy Eddy on Saturday, May 13, for a talk on biodiversity of the Valley at 10:30am followed by a walk around the Applewood grounds at 11:30am.

The Hitchcock Center’s 18th Annual 2017 Biothon starts May 12th! You’ve heard of marathons, walk-a-thons, and dance-a-thons: this is our version. Biothon is a fundraiser for the Hitchcock Center’s environmental education programs. And it’s a fun and educational way to document the biodiversity of our region. Biothon is a team event during peak spring biodiversity.

Teams choose the time, location, and species to count: birds, plants, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, insects, or everything! Teams collect pledges in support of their outing.

Teams will be out identifying species in the Valley at specific sites for any time period (up to 24-hours) on Friday, May 12 – Sunday, May 14 or on Friday, June 2 – Sunday, June 4. Teams choose their day and time, where to go out, and what species to count.

Your participation helps us to document our region’s biodiversity, and strengthen high-quality environmental education programs for our whole community – thank you!
