New England Trail Nature Watch

Please join the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), Connecticut Forest and Parks Association (CFPA), and National Park Service (NPS) in monitoring plants and animals along the New England National Scenic Trail Corridor! All plant and animal observations are welcome, and will be available for scientific study when added to iNaturalist. Our project partners are particularly interested in flowering times of target species in the context of climate change. We will review plant and flower submissions to use in our phenology (timing of biological events) studies. Target species are available in the project list. As observations accumulate, this project may also be helpful in determining distribution and relative abundance of species along the New England Trail. less ↑
