Urban wilds are crucial areas of natural land that are being lost to development. This project was designed to overcome the lack of communication and information currently undermining Boston's protective attempts in order to minimize further loss. Data collected through visiting unprotected wilds was used to determine each wild's importance and recorded in a database that included images and current ownership information for each wild, thus creating a source of centralized information.
