To date, we have 155 observations recorded, covering 89 species in the Blue Hills. And that is just with 7 observers! And we have 47 identifies helping us hone down what we are seeing in the Blue Hills. Thanks to all who have contributed so far!

We could use a lot more help identifying some of our observations and would love to see some photo observations of the species on our list including the American Mountain Ash, Sweet Pepperbush, Buttonbush, New England Aster, and American Chestnut.

Welcome to the Blue Hills: Better Forest Challenge!

All observations, as long as they are within the Blue Hills, are welcome! To kick off the project, 5 “charismatic” species the Project List. These species should be flowering and fruiting soon. We challenge you to record observations of these five!
