What is Biodiversity Ambassadors?

Biodiversity Ambassadors is an initiative led by the 300 Committee Land Trust to learn more about biodiversity on Falmouth's conservation lands. Members of the public can use the popular wildlife and plant identification app, iNaturalist, to catalog biodiversity on the following conservation areas in Falmouth: the Coonamessett Greenway, Beebe Woods, Swift/Long Pond (Moraine), Mares Pond and Spectactle Pond Reservation, Two Ponds Conservation Area, Shallow Pond Woodlands, Breivogel Ponds, Sea Farms Marsh, River Bend Conservation Area, Donald Wheldon Preserve, Andrew's Grove, and Florence Sylvia Woodlands. The program will run through the fall and spring of 2025 and 2026 (November - June). To participate, take a picture of the organism, identify it to the best of your ability, and then your observation should automatically upload to the iNaturalist appropriate project page. The projects are set up to filter observations by time (month) and location (made on one of the parcels listed above). We have created a project page for each month. Look for your observations there. Access the project page by clicking the green button above. All you will need is an iNaturalist account and mobile device! Never visited any of our conservation lands?
