2015 - Rutgers-Newark/NJIT 4th Annual BioBlitz

By conducting this bioblitz, we hope to showcase the great biodiversity found, even in a highly urbanized area, to increase awareness of some of the ecological projects that are currently taking place on the Rutgers-Newark and NJIT campuses, and to foster interest in studies of the nature that’s found in our own backyards. We found that the limited natural spaces on campus house a surprising diversity of life. The campus benefits from this diversity and these natural spaces through research, recreation and aesthetic beauty. less ↑
