Chequamegon Bay BioBlitz

The Chequamegon Bay BioBlitz is a free event open to people of all ages who want to come learn about the creatures with whom they share the Chequamegon Bay. Centered on the Northland College campus, the BioBlitz will feature experts in many fields of science who will lead field trips into the Ashland area and teach participants about their area of expertise. Experts in birding, botany, mammals, fish, insects, reptiles, and many others will all be featured. The goal of the BioBlitz is to get a count of all possible species in the Chequamegon Bay and to collect information that will be useful for wildlife and land management in the Ashland area, as well as to educate citizens about the unique and diverse ecosystem around them. Field trips will take place in two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with a break for lunch in between.
