About this Event
Join Claire O'Neill & Laura Roberts for a lovely Biodiversity walk in the Fells, exploring how seasons pass and shape our plants and wildlife in our beautiful urban forest. We'll enjoy, observe, and record the flora and fauna in various locations of the woods, starting from the upper sheepfold parking lot.
This is part of Earthwise Aware's biodiversity and climate studies that collect data about the impact of climate change on the synchronicity of fauna and flora phenophases (i.e., observable stages or phases in the annual life cycle of a plant or animal that can be defined by a start and endpoint). This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to be alert and in tune with our environment and to discover our urban woodland's biodiversity and cycles.
⚠ 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.
◇ 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.
◇ Emails from Eventbrite often land in spam folders, but it's crucial we can communicate with attendees for updates or changes. Please check your spam folder and mark Eventbrite as a safe sender to ensure you receive our notifications.
