UNH Extension has a kit of supplies to help make your BioBlitz a success. Any community or organization can borrow any of the kit for free. We recommend you borrow the General Kit, which includes name tags, signs and more. There are also three kits you can borrow depending on the species you plan to focus your BioBlitz on.
The kit is located at UNH Cooperative Extension, Nesmith Hall, Durham, NH. Borrowing will include coming to pick up and drop off the kit.
