Other significant findings:
219 species in a downtown Cleveland urban park (Rockefeller Park)! We
were surprised at the diversity of plants, and the fact that many were
native (i.e., not just ornamental).
Event summary:
The 175 participants were mostly inner-city school children who arrived
at varying times by bus. We broke them into classes and 1-3 scientists/educators
from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Ohio Conservation
Alliance walked them around the park looking for a particular type of
organism (i.e., plant, mammal, invertebrate, etc.).
