Ashburnham Memorial Park Species Inventory

Ashburnham Memorial Stewardship Group continues its work with iNaturalist to record species observations in Ashburnham Memorial Park. The iNaturalist project serves as a way to track the biodiversity and health of the park and informs our conservation efforts. Currently there are 360 combined observers and identifiers and 26 members. At the end of 2024 there were 351 different species identified in the park including 181 species of plants, 69 insects and 39 bird species.

This species inventory page was created by Trent University Computer engineering students in 2022. The page will auto populate whenever an iNaturalist observation is made within Ashburnham Memorial Park. The public are encouraged to participate in the upcoming City Nature Challenge April 25-28, 2025.
