Take a walk: BioBlitz of the Americas is Jan 16-17

Nature enthusiasts are getting together in a big way this weekend to take a walk. More specifically, a BioBlitz nature walk. The Bioblitz walk across the Americas is January 16-17. It’s a pretty simple premise: Take a walk with your friends and family and share your findings with the world using the iNaturalist app on your smart phone. It’s the perfect excuse to let technology help us pay attention to nature.  Although this weekend’s event can take place anywhere—from  your backyard to your local park—there are a couple of biomimicry network groups hosting Bioblitzes. In the Arizona area? Try this Bioblitz in the Sonoran Desert. In the California area? The Coastal Redwoods Biomimicry Group is also hosting an event. Both events are free. Want to host your own Bioblitz?

But what does it mean to be a BPro? And how do graduates incorporate into their careers? We asked a pair of BPros from two past cohorts to reflect on the inspiration they found in the program and about how biomimicry has influenced their careers: Rachel Hahs—2013-15 BPro graduate Sustainability and Innovation Consultant 10 years as a Sustainability and Environmental Consultant Why add biomimicry to your professional portfolio?
