🌳 Introduction to Nature Monitoring at The Fells

About this event

The EwA Citizen Science group introduces how to document the Fells' ecological communities at risk in a fast-changing world. Join us!

[About this event] The Earthwise Aware 's naturalist team assesses & documents the Fells' ecological communities at risk in a fast-changing world. This is an orientation field session that introduces the science program and team. You will help the team record bird movement, observe seasonal phases of fauna and flora, monitor bio-pollution, and map habitat fragmentation. It's also a chance to learn new skills and join the team & effort ツ

⚠ IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT BE A NO-SHOW!!! Our free offerings are frequently waitlisted, so if you cannot attend, please tell us a few days before the events so we can give your spot to another person who wants to participate . Thanks for your understanding and courtesy! 🎟️ Register > here.

ⓘ Why limit the number of attendees? EwA caps the attendance size of its events so that they remain low-impact and ethical for the wildlife and habitats that we document.

⚠️ Hiking pace : Moderate-to-fast. We hike relatively fast when we can–yet very quietly–on the lookout for any kind of signs. Wear long pants and sturdy boots. This is a great opportunity to learn how to be alert and in tune with our environment and to discover our urban woodland's biodiversity and cycles while contributing to science.

Age : Adults (16+) & Seniors / Rendezvous: Bellevue Pond Parking Lot.

◇ What to Wear & Bring : Although these will be slow-paced hikes, please dress appropriately and consider wearing long pants (for the possibility of ticks, poison ivy, etc.) and sturdy hiking shoes. Bring water. Also, know that there is no bathroom in the forest.
