Calling all citizen scientists! 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: Including the lower and middle bogs, the Matthew Souza and Dupee Conservation Areas, and the Toner Conservation Area
• Beebe Woods: Including Peterson Farm and Kelly Woodlands
• Long Pond (Swift-Chute, Angel's Mirror)
• Mares and Spectacle Pond Reservation
• Two Ponds Conservation Area
• Shallow Pond Woodlands: Including Breivogel Ponds and Wald and Fender
• Sea Farms Marsh
• River Bend Conservation Area
• Donald Wheldon Preserve
• Andrew's Grove and Andrew's Farm
• Florence Sylvia Woodlands
• The Margaret Doutt Preserve
• Flume Pond
• Wing Pond Woods

Getting involved is easy. All you need is an iNaturalist account and mobile device. Visit one of the above conservation areas, take a picture of an organism, share the observation to your iNaturalist profile, and your observation should automatically upload to the Biodiversity Ambassadors project on iNaturalist. You do not have to manually join the project. Each parcel has its own project page on the Biodiversity Ambassadors landing page. Look for your observations there. The landing page is linked above. The project is set up to collect observations in perpetuity. There are no time limits or constraints. Never visited any of our conservation lands? Visit our "Land and Trails" tad for access instructions and to learn more about each parcel. Please be aware that we are still in the process of adding some parcels to the landing page. Questions?
