📅  EwA Coming Events

Field Events » Don't miss this Saturday's Forest Exploration at the Fells (9:30 am), and EwA's Introduction to Plant & Wildlife Monitoring for Conservation at the Growing Center (2pm)Space is limited for all our field events. Wildlife ethics is important to us and we seek to avoid putting pressure on natural habitats that large gatherings unavoidably do. We are asking our audience to register-and-commit to avoid no-shows (or cancel when you know you can't come) [ Events details & registration ].

Virtual Events » EwA Nature Hour (July, 6th - 12pm |  webinar registration) » Don't miss learning about Cambridge Wildlife Arts at EwA's July virtual nature hour. We're excited to host Julie Croston who will talk about their mission and work. Bring your lunch, hope on our zoom, and let's discuss the many ways to get closer to urban nature in our communities.

■ EwA Fieldwork (& Resources)

We are monitoring phenology and entomofauna weekly at all sites. Our biodiversity and habitat documentation fieldwork is also as healthy as ever thanks to our group of core citizen scientists who simply rock!
