The Waterville School District developed a 5-year plan to inventory and map the biodiversity of the Waterville Plateau. Each grade level inventories and monitors a different taxonomic group which include: spiders, butterflies, birds, insects, reptiles, plants, mammals, and water quality in town, from homes, and sites withing the Waterville Plateau, such as Badger Mountain, Douglas Creek, and Pine Canyon. These data are used to develop baseline inventory for the Waterville Plateau and are submitted to the NatureMapping Program for county and statewide analyses.
