The Results From Louisville’s June BioBlitz Are In. Here’s What They Found Hannah Leigh

Over five days in early June, scientists, land managers, researchers and community members came together to perform a BioBlitz in Louisville. Now the results are in. A BioBlitz is a collaborative biodiversity assessment. In it, governments and residents collaborate to identify as many species as possible over a short period of time in a specific location.

KGNU’s Hananh Leigh Myers spoke to Certified Ecologist, Nathaniel Goeckner, Natural Resource Supervisor for the city of Louisville Parks, Rec and Open Space Department about the data it uncovered.
