On Saturday, April 4, eighteen interested contributors gathered in the Bangor Land Trust conference room to learn about a national citizen scientist program called Nature’s Notebook. Volunteers track the various stages of plants and animals as the seasons change and add their observations to a national database network (the National Phenology Network).
There was a record number of people in the BLT conference room that day. Thanks to all who participated and to Elissa Koskella with the UMaine Cooperative Extension/Sea Grant for explaining how the program works. Now that the temperatures are warmer, our various species are or will be “doing their thing” and tracking the phases will keep us busy.
