About this Event
Earthwise Aware's naturalist teams study land use and climate impact on 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 factors. It's also a chance to learn new skills and join the team & the effort ツ
[Prepare] To prepare for the session, here's a short read & a few apps to install ☟
The Fells will be our gracious host, and we look forward to spending quality time together exploring its habitats and inhabitants. In preparation for such a wonderful opportunity, we invite you to read our short Acknowledgement of Biodiversity, Land, and People. Thanks!
To record with us, install a few free apps to get started. We use smartphones as data recording tools. If you don't have a smart device, don't worry – we'll pair you with someone who does. Here are the apps: EwA Survey projects » Instructions– install our app platform, then search for and join EwA Pheno Lite and EwA Buggy.
⚠ 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!
ⓘ 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 we document.
Age: Adults (16+) / 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.
