📅 EwA Coming Public Events

EwA Field Events » Check our public field events on the EwA Calendar, we have several walks Nov 12th and 13th [ See EwA events calendar to register » ] Don't miss great opportunities to follow the rhythm of the season in our local habitats and of its wildlife!. 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)

■ 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! 

As the field season is winding down, we've started working on EwA's 2021 conservation reports. And as usual, we start with the Vernal Pool report! We made good progress these past few days:

  • We completed the submission of the evidence for 9 new vernal pools in the Fells ( ⚠ Getting into bodies of water in the Fells is not allowed unless permitted by the DCR / EwA pool documentation is done under a DCR research permit).

  • We are also working on a collaboration with the Zoo New England's Field Conservation team – both organizations will aggregate their field protocols and data for better protection of the pools of the Fells. Exciting!

Within a few weeks, the report should be ready, so stay tuned!
