BIOBLITZ AND GEOCACHING AT WKU

On Wednesday, November 9, 2016 the KGA sponsored a BioBlitz event on the campus of Western Kentucky University, as well as a geocaching opportunity for students. The event, which was conducted in celebration of Geography Awareness Week, was a great success, and the KGA looks forward to working with more students and educators to make events like these happen across Kentucky.
