Happy 4th to all!

Here's the recap of another busy week at EwA and a few highlights of what's coming...

📸  There are so many wonderful records this week again. Here is one favorite: a Dekay's Brownsnake recorded by Matt.

📊  Thanks to all for incredible biodiversity records this week! 582 observations total over 345 species! Curious about the records that have been validated by the iNat community so far? > here.

Running tally: To date, we recorded 72,229 observations of 6,410 distinct species! Check our EwA umbrella project and see the details per site/observer & more... > here. 

📅  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!
