There'll be lots happening on the ground during the next few days at BioBlitz Base Camp, Paramount Ranch: nature walks, mini-BioBlitzes, kids' crafts and activities, live animal demonstrations, and scientists hard at work in the science tent. The public programming schedule spans the full 24 hours of the BioBlitz, from noon Friday until noon Saturday, plus the Celebrate Biodiversity Festival that follows on Saturday afternoon until 6 p.m. This map should help you find your way around!

Just ten days left until Friday, May 30th, and the official start of the 2008 Santa Monica Mountains BioBlitz.

From Base Camp at Paramount Ranch in the heart of the National Recreation Area to the Hollywood Hills on the east and the Pacific on the west, this marathon quest to find and identify every species that grows, crawls, hops, swims, slithers, or flies will span more than 150,000 acres of public land north of Los Angeles.

Volunteer to join a field team on a four-hour trek, catch a free talk or a concert at Paramount Ranch, celebrate biodiversity at the festival Saturday afternoon, or stop by the scientists' tent to get tips on identifying the creatures that live in your own back yard.

Can't make it to Southern California for the 'Blitz? Not a problem: We'll follow it all here on our BioBlitz blog. Check back often for the latest!
