Spring is Here!

Thank you for making this project so successful and productive already. In only a couple months since our beginning in January we have confirmed over 600 species in Mount Holly and spring is just beginning. Now is a truly exciting time to get outdoors, there are new species of birds, wildflowers, and insects appearing nearly every day. It's always exciting to find a new species but we also need to know about all species, including the common ones, that occur regularly around the area. Please remember to photograph and report those common animals, plants, and fungi wherever you see them. Repeated reports of the same species in various places are very useful for determining where our most valuable resources are located. If you look at the map you can see there are several areas in town that lack solid observations. For example, we need more reports around Star Lake, in the Okemo State Forest, and south of Rte. 155. Spring is here, take an iNaturalist walk whenever you can and help us learn more about the biodiversity of Mount Holly.
