📜 EwA Week Recap: Pink Lichen, Wood Frog & Vernal Pool, Next Week's Nature Documentation event & more...
Claire O'Neill
Here's the recap of another busy week at EwA and a few highlights of what's coming...
📸 Spring is in the air! So many sightings again this week. If we have to pick one, that'd be the Yvonne's observation of a pink earth lichen when we scouted Horn Pond, and Joe's observation of a wood frog that is the sure sign that we'll be soon resuming vernal pool documentation.
📊 Thanks to all for great biodiversity records this week! - 212 observations total over 126 species. Curious about this week's records that have been validated by the iNat community so far? > here.
Running tally: 🏆 To date, we recorded 59,572 observations of 5,971 distinct species! Check our EwA umbrella project and see the details per site/observer & more... > here.
📅 EwA Coming Events
- Our next public Biodiversity walk is our monthly Fells' Nature Documentation with Bill and Joe next week. Don't miss it! They are great opportunities to learn about our local fauna, flora, and seasonal cycles while recording critical data to help science and our communities protect our urban natural habitats. Space is limited for all our events and we are asking our audience to follow a Register-and-commit (or cancel when you know you can't come). 🎟️ > here.
Also on the EwA calendar this week: EwA's Nature Virtual Hour | Tuesdays at noon (🎟️ webinar registration) » A great opportunity to gather as a community and share our nature stories and our favorite week's sightings. Don't miss it!
