Cold Spring Brook, Newton MA: eDNA Metabarcoding Results...

A golden shiner from a tributary to Cold Spring Brook…

The Massachusetts chapter of NFC has been working with Friends of Cold Spring Park and Newton Conservators to assess the condition of Cold Spring Brook within the park. Using technology provided by Jonah Ventures, NFC collected water samples from 4 sites in the watershed to be tested for eDNA metabarcoding. The results were quite interesting…

Special thanks to MA NFC board members Brian Hutchison and Jeff Moore, Alan Nogee President of Friends of Cold Spring Park, and Katherine Howard Treasurer for Friends of Cold Spring Park and Newton Conservators for making this happen.
