A lovely Biodiversity walk in the Fells observing how seasons pass and shape our plants and wildlife in our beautiful urban forest.
About this Event

Join brothers and Earthwise Aware (EwA) participatory scientists Joe and Bill MacIndewar for a casual walk focusing on observing and recording the incredible biodiversity of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. With these walks and through the EwA photo documentation using the platform, we contribute to biodiversity inventories while enjoying the outdoors in this beautiful urban park.

No expertise required / beginners welcome! You can prepare for the walk by downloading the iNaturalist app and creating a free account. Check out the 'EwA at the Fells' iNaturalist project to see 4000+ species that we documented so far in the park. Send us your iNaturalist username, and you'll get to have your observations count in our studies! There is always something new to discover and add to this growing list!

⚠ 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.

◇ Rendezvous Location: the exact GPS location is 42.451369, -71.087603. Park on the street, you'll see us there | By bus → Bus # 132, Bus Stop: Pond St @ Stone Zoo

◇ What to Wear & Bring: Consider bringing a hiking pole. Long pants, sturdy hiking shoes, hat. 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.
