Find out about the diversity of life and see expert scientists at work. The event will start Friday evening with some teams counting through the night recording owls, bats, moths, amphibians, crickets, etc. At dawn there will be songbird surveys and on Saturday teams will continue looking for trees, plants, mammals, and many other forms of life (down to microscopic molds and fungus).

At its height, Moxie was the top-selling tonic of the time, outpacing rival brands such as Coca-Cola. Today, Moxie continues to thrive as a niche product with a devoted following throughout New England .
