SUMMARY:Join Avalonia Land Conservancy as it hosts its inaugural BioBlitz at the Davis Family Forest Preserve in North Stonington!
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to learn more about the biodiversity of our various preserves and to make more informed stewardship decisions\, we have begun to enlist the public’s help by hosting a series of iNaturalist BioBlitzes over the summer. Whether new to iNaturalist or an “an old hand”\, data collected will help us in a numbers ways from protecting state listed plant and animals species to responsible trail building to updating preserve management plans. It is also fun and educational! \nThe first of these BioBlitzes will be at the Dorothy G. Davis Family Forest on Monday July 13 from 9-12.  This preserve offers several interesting habitat types including a steep ridge running north to southwest along the western boundary of the preserve. Adjacent to this ridgeline is a several acre knoll with a flattened plateau which drops off into the red maple swamp at the southeast corner of the preserve. There is a small intermittent stream that snakes along the southern boundary of the preserve and feeds into the wetland. The Green Fall River serves as the eastern boundary of the preserve. \nIf you are unfamiliar with iNaturalist and the BioBlitz format\, there are a number of helpful resources that might help you to get you started. You can also reach out directly to our stewardship team (before the scheduled event)! \nIf you already have an active iNaturalist account\, we invite you to join the Davis Family Forest Project by clicking here.  \nWe will meet at the parking area for the adjacent Herman E. Sheets Family Forest.  This is across from 94 Puttker Road in North Stonington.   \nHope to see you this coming Monday!
