Field Museum Report Michigan City BioBlitz Success

Fifteen Field Museum scientists participate in rapid biological survey of Michigan City, Indiana’s natural areas

Field Museum scientists organized and participated in a day-long “BioBlitz” to survey six natural areas in the Trail Creek Watershed in Michigan City, Indiana. A “BioBlitz” is a rapid biological survey to document as many species as possible in a 24-hour period. The goal of the Trail Creek BioBlitz was to help the municipality of Michigan City identify high-quality natural areas and significant natural features. The City will use this data to help design a green corridor along Trail Creek that will include public parks, restoration of nature preserves, and rehabilitation of the waterway.
