Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details.

If you like to watch our natural areas come alive in the spring and summer, consider joining our phenology program. Volunteers visit the site of their choice every other week to record which plants are blooming from May through September. This data will be used for an on-going research study with Research Ecologist Tom Simpson.

A moderate knowledge of plant ID is necessary, but even more important is an enthusiasm for getting out in the field on a regular basis and willingness to learn. Multiple sites available throughout the county. The phenology program has been going on for over a decade, and more than 30 volunteers have been part of the fun!
If you plan to attend, please also fill out this Phenology Partners Survey to let us know if you would like to be paired with another volunteer.
