Rare Species by Town

E = Endangered

T = Threatened

SC = Special Concern

Most Recent Observation

This field represents the most recent observation of that species in a town. However, because they are rare, many MESA-listed species are difficult to detect even when they are present. Natural Heritage does not have the resources to be able to conduct methodical species surveys in each town on a regular basis. Therefore, the fact that the 'Most Recent Observation' recorded for a species may be several years old should not be interpreted as meaning that the species no longer occurs in a town. However, Natural Heritage regards records older than twenty-five years historic.

Click on a town below to view MESA-listed species for that town. To print the species for a particular town, highlight the species using your mouse, go to Print under the File Menu, click on 'Selection' under 'Print Range' and click OK.

For more information about a particular species, view the list of Natural Heritage Fact Sheets.

These data were extracted from the database of the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program in August 2006.
