Flora and Fauna

The Connemara Meadow Preserve is home to hundreds if not thousands of species of plants and animals. Some are there or apparent year-round and others are seasonal, appearing only during migration or certain growing or flowering times. Some aren't visible at all except for certain signs that they leave.

But all are important to the ecology of The Meadow Nature Preserve.

This is still a work in progress and some of the Big10 sets don't have 10 in them. Check back often for updates.
