About Citizen Science
Watch the video and become a Citizen Scientist!
Human beings share nature, and what you do in your part of the natural world affects others in theirs. We can all benefit in the long term if we acknowledge our interconnection. As stewards of the land in our diverse locations, we can share and contribute seasonal observations of our local area - spring blossoms, summer harvest, autumn leaves.
By joining with other Citizen Scientists on Your Garden Show, you'll help researchers track the cycles of nature across North America – and help identify important new trends that will make a real difference worldwide.
- Watch for the first signs of seasonal change.
- Enter your observations into your glog.
