The EwA naturalist team introduces how to document and help the Growing Center's plant & insect communities. Join us!
Join Claire and Earthwise Aware (EwA) participatory scientists, and learn how to observe and record the plants, insects, and animals of the Somerville Growing Center. With these observation events and through the EwA photo documentation using the iNaturalist platform, we contribute to biodiversity science while enjoying together the outdoors in this beautiful little garden. We'll also tell you about our arthropod (insect and spider) and our phenology studies at this location.
No expertise required / beginners welcome! You can prepare for the event by downloading the iNaturalist app (Apple | Android) and creating a free account. Check out the 'EwA at the Growing Center' iNaturalist project to see some 550 species documented to date from the garden thanks to EwA's citizen science team. Send us your iNaturalist username, and you'll get the chance 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 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!
