Here is the report for the Bioblitz. Maj Padamsee, Bryn Dentinger and I worked on the unidentified species. The asterisk indicates species and genera not documented for Ramsey Co. in the herbarium. Final tally was 64 species. I thought it was a fairily successful event considering how little time we had to collect. Next time if the weather is favorable it would be nice to have more people out looking and a couple of people on microscopes to make quick checks to speed up the identifications.
