The Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in partnership with a number of nature-oriented nonprofit and
education organizations, is sponsoring the third annual citizen Biodiversity Days, May 31 - June 3, 2002.

Biodiversity Days is a challenge to citizens to familiarize themselves with the wealth of animal and plant species with which we share our communities and to identify in each participating city/town at least 200 species in backyards, schoolyards, conservation land, and other open space by permission. Participants will find, record and learn about the component species of flora and fauna in their home cities/towns.

Citizen walks are led by naturalists. Results from the biodiversity walks are posted to the database through the web site and are searchable.
