Lush forests, rushing streams, abundant wildlife-- Gwynns Falls Leakin Park has it all. We have collected these links to help those who are interested in learning about-- and contributing to-- our understanding of the ecology of the Park.
Forest Management PlanIn 2017 the city commissioned Biohabitats, a local environmental consulting firm, to create a Forest Management Plan for the Park. | BioblitzBioblitz is an event where participants work together to identify and record as many living organisms as they can. The first Leakin Park Bioblitz, in April of 2018, resulted in hundreds of observations and recordings. Since then, many other intrepid naturalists have added to the recorded species in the park. Bioblitz is held yearly at the Carrie Murray Nature Center. |
