Organized
by the
Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions
in partnership with EOEA, Biodiversity Days is a challenge to
citizens to familiarize themselves with the wealth of animal and plant
species with which we share our communities and to identify in each
participating city/town at least 200 species in backyards, schoolyards,
conservation land, and other open space by permission. Organized by
The Trustees of Reservations, ten people braved a steady rain
on June 10, 2006, to help find and identify over seventy species during
the walk, including trees, wildflowers, ferns, insects, amphibians, and
birds. The complete list of species found on the walk can be viewed at
the
EOEA database page for Fall River. To see how Fall River schools
