Amargosa Valley BioBlitz
In April, the BLM and NDOW recently partnered on a large data collection event known as a bioblitz. This is where many biologists from various disciplines gather to take a complete inventory of all species present in a set area, in this case the Amargosa Valley north of Las Vegas. The area is highly diverse, containing large intact Mojave Desert scrublands, sand dunes, and the large riparian area Ash Meadows. This area is also facing several threats from development of solar farms and ground water pumping. The bioblitz was attended by more than 25 volunteers as well as other agency partners.
