In this activity, students will engage in a mini BioBlitz by surveying their local surroundings to determine species richness and whether there are native or invasive plant species in their area.

Students will document this information and evaluate the possibility of invasive plant removal to improve the biodiversity in the area. Based on their experience, students will share findings with fellow classmates and try to identify similarities, differences and patterns in data collected.
