We need to understand how climate and land use affect plant and animal life, to protect and restore habitats where they can thrive, including in our urban green spaces.
🌟 The good news is that you can really make a difference! Earthwise Aware runs an extensive participatory biodiversity and climate participatory science program in Middlesex county. We specifically monitor plants, insects at 4 established study locations: The Middlesex Fells Reservation (Winchester, and Medford), Fresh Pond Reservation (Cambridge), Horn Pond (Woburn), and the Somerville Community Growing Center (Somerville). In the Middlesex Fells Reservation, we also document habitat fragmentation (amphibian activity, habitat health assessment, dog waste, fells usage, and informal trail systems). We also have semi-structured sites all over the Boston area. [ ⓘ EwA Participatory Science Program »
