Nature's Timekeepers
Welcome!
Be part of a local community of dedicated volunteers that track the seasons by observing how plants change over time. We do this by recording the timing (or phenology) of major events in our local floral like leaf out and flowering along three nature trails. Check out some of our recent publicity.
Up-coming events:
June 19-20, 2025- FREE Continuing Education Workshop (14 CEU credits). We will explore multiple citizen science programs and how they can be incorporated into your classroom.
