Minister's Lot citizen-science mapping event set for May 30
Summary
Dan Healy is organizing a citizen-science event at Minister’s Lot for May 30 with a 9 a.m. start; the state ecologist and local naturalists will help map habitats and contribute data to iNaturalist.
A citizen‑science event is planned for Minister’s Lot on May 30, with organizer Dan Healy arranging access from O'Donnell Farm Road and a suggested 9 a.m. start time. The meeting notes state the program will include an "Introduction to Ecological Habitats" led by experts and mapping efforts that will contribute observations to iNaturalist.
The minutes note that the state ecologist will take part in mapping habitats and that local naturalists (named in the minutes) are expected to attend. "A 9am start time will work well. There will be an Introduction to Ecological Habitats with them being mapped going forward by the state ecologist who will be there," the meeting minutes record. The event is intended as a citizen‑science opportunity to collect data on flora, fauna and geological features to supplement existing geology data.
Organizers asked participants to expect field-based activities and to bring gear appropriate for a spring field visit; commission members encouraged follow-up reporting to iNaturalist.
