SUMMARY:Edmands Park BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:Come explore the plants of Edmands Park and improve your plant 
 identification skills.  These BioBlitz events are part of a larger effort
  by the Newton Conservators to document\, and raise awareness about the gr
 eat diversity of plants and animals that inhabit Newton’s open spaces. 
  At the beginning of the event\, we will give a brief tutorial on the iNat
 uralist app\, which we use to document species and as an identification ai
 d.\n\nSurrounded by stone walls and bordered by Boston College Law School 
 on one side\, this park contains woods\, small clearings\, wetlands\, Edma
 nds Brook\, and a glacial esker. Its open oak forest contains beeches\, lo
 custs\, maples\, birches\, and pines. Edmands Brook is an intermittent str
 eam. The brook empties into a large wetland\, filled with frogs and tadpol
 es. The esker can be seen to the right as you enter the park from Blake St
 reet. Note the sandy soil and the steep sides of the esker as you walk alo
 ng its “back.”  Learn more about Edmands Park HERE on the Newton Cons
 ervators website.  You can check out the current iNaturalist project incl
 uding previous observations for Edmands Park HERE.3\n\nLearn how to use th
 e iNaturalist app to take pictures for documenting what lives in Nahanton 
 Park.  Download this free and useful identification app to your phone or 
 tablet beforehand from the Apple App Store for iOS or the Google Play Stor
 e for Android.  HERE is an interesting article on iNaturalist from our F
 all 2019 Newton Conservators Newsletter and HERE is a webinar video primer
  on its usage by Jon Regosin.\n\nThe leader for this event is naturalist Z
