Additional information

All you need to bring is yourself and a smartphone with the free iNaturalist app downloaded. In partnership with Earthwise Aware, we will help document the diversity of species at Fresh Pond’s Lusitania Meadow for researchers to use nationwide. We’re also looking for groups of volunteers to help out! Contact Ranger Tim at tpuopolo@cambridgeMA.gov
