 Staff and students from the Pfister Lab and the Herbaria participated in the [2019 Great Walden BioBlitz](https://www.walden.org/events/2019-great-walden-bioblitz/) on July 6, 2019. The BioBlitz, an event co-sponsored by The Walden Woods Project, Minute Man National Historical Park, and the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, was held in celebration of Dr. [E.O. Wilson](https://mcz.harvard.edu/people/edward-o-wilson)’s 90th birthday. The BioBlitz took place within a five-mile radius of Walden Pond. Interesting finds included an orange myxobacteria, a *Russula* species of mushroom and *pleurozium schreberi* (moss).
