NE BioLabs
Join senior stroll guide Laurie Hark for a for a unique exploration of the New England Biolabs (NEB) campus and the surrounding ECTA (Essex County Trail Association) trails.
Wildlife & Habitat
The NEB campus and adjoining ECTA trails serve as a critical corridor for North Shore wildlife. As we wind through mature hardwoods and scenic wetlands, keep an eye out for:
- Mammals: The property provides habitat for white-tailed deer, red foxes, and fishers.
- Birds: The diverse canopy provides nesting sites for Barred Owls, Pileated Woodpeckers, and various migratory songbirds.
- Amphibians: The wetland edges and vernal pools are active hubs for wood frogs and spotted salamanders.
