Head Naturalist for the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog, Clinton Dexter-Nienhaus talks about some of the ways that citizen science platforms are utilized by the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog!
The ecosystem is a large and diverse set of habitats within an amazingly biodiverse landscape. With nearly 3900 species documented, citizen science is a great tool to document locations, species diversity, and local phenology.

Now, she uses iNaturalist to connect with people who have seen Impatiens capensis and Impatiens pallida, which are native jewelweeds whose flowers only bloom during a few weeks of the year. Michelle seeks to use these samples, collected from the US & Canada, to explore leaf shape and color metrics as indicators of species.
