Hello! 

Do you live in New England?

A beautiful and majestic place of wonderful fall colors, gorgeous woodlands with spring ephemerals, good hunting, camping, numerous public places to hike and explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. 

Well, I hate to break it to you but ALL of that is at stake and will be significantly less wonderful in less than 100 years. 

if something isn't done now. We are the ones, at the individual level that can do something about it. 

How?

PLANT NATIVE.

REMOVE INVASIVES.

Why?

Click below: INVASIVE PLANT ID 

​

​

​

This album shows Invasive Plant ID, what they do to forests, meadows and public space. This album also shows what a healthy forest should look like. As well as the numerous really cool plants that are at risk of going extinct in our area. That process is called Extirpation. 

The exciting plants are all natives. I havent labeled them yet. 

The forest shown show both pristine and invaded forests and ecosystems. Use what you learned from the ID and see if you can see the difference. 

​

Later this page will feature full albums for local parks and preserves showcasing habitat, species diversity, etc

These albums wont be annoted but you can go to my iNaturalist @jimbo225. A link to that day will be beside it you can see speices list, where tbhey were found etc to go see for yourself.
