Members of the Barbados Chapter participated in a BioBlitz at Cocohill Forest, St. Joseph which was hosted by Caribbean Protected Areas Gateway (CPAG) on March 25th 2023. A Bioblitz is an event where persons take pictures/observations to help identify plants and animals within specified areas, in this instance, the specified area was Cocohill Forest. CYEN members were citizen scientists for 2 hours taking pictures of the flora and fauna seen in the forest while also enjoying the views of Barbados and the banter amongst members. Animals and insects such as the millipede, giant African snails and ants were seen along with plants such as the MacCaw Palm, almond trees, bamboo trees and lemongrass.
