Earthwise Aware (EwA) runs a conservation program that supports biodiversity and climate research while advancing the democratization of science. The program covers various habitats in the Boston Area, and fills essential data gaps. EwA promotes a form of scientific contribution and experiential learning that is systems-based with an emphasis on in-situ species interactions. The studies reveal a continuous natural history of these habitats. In 2021, citizen scientists dedicated to EwA’s program collected over 93,443 phenological observations and 33,595 biodiversity records of a wide variety of animal and plant species. The data is aggregated into open and global databases. Yearly comprehensive reports tell a rich story of communities invested in understanding species diversity and their habitats, and the effects of climate change, to drive societal changes. Come learn about EwA’s model – a model successful because it deeply connects all involved through making nature science accessible while contributing critical information to local, national, and global projects.
