Acknowledgments

We are grateful for the support provided by a grant from the Rockfall Foundation with matching funds from the Schumann Funds of the Environmental Studies Program at Wesleyan University.

The Jonah Center for Earth and Art, especially John Hall, Susan Brown, and Chuck Bates, initiated this project to benefit Middletown, without them this project may have never even been attempted.

We must thank Prof. Dave Wagner and Valerie Marinelli for their countless hours of work in association with the June 2007 BioBlitz. If it were not for them, our database would be almost empty.

Over 170 scientists and countless students took part in the BioBlitz, and we would like to thank them all for their many contributions.

This project has been made possible by the expertise and enthusiastic support of many individuals and organizations. Please forgive us if we have forgotten to list your name, and let us know so we can do so immediately.
