In order to show you where species were found, without giving away exact locations, we have divided the city into 11 areas that make sense with respect to both the human and natural landscapes. Some of the species listed in our database may be declining, and vulnerable even to passive human disturbance. Withholding their exact locations can help to protect and preserve them.
While the website will identify only the areas in which a species is found, our database contains the exact locations. We encourage you to submit all species records, even when the species has already been identified in that particular area. Additional records provide us with more information, such as new times and exact locations for the species. About the Geographic Location of Middletown
Middletown is almost at the geographic center of Connecticut. It is approximately equidistant, 20 miles, from two key Connecticut cities, Hartford and New Haven. The City is also approximately equidistant, 100 miles, from New York City and Boston. Middletown is part of the eastern megalopolis reaching from Norfolk, Virginia, at the southern end to Boston, Massachusetts, at the northern end. This geographic position has an undeniable influence on the future of Middletown. Within its own state-designated planning region, Middletown is a mature urban center for the rural communities to the south and east. To the north and west Middletown is in the development shadow of Hartford and Meriden.
