Nature's Notebook Use Policy:

The USA-NPN enthusiastically supports local or regional implementation of its national-scale phenology monitoring program-Nature's Notebook-as long as the local or regional project follows the methods, protocols, and definitions used by Nature's Notebook.

We allow the use of the "Nature's Notebook" name as long as the local or regional collaborator or project follows these four conditions:

1. Distinguishes itself clearly as a collaborating (or affiliated) sub-national project by adding a descriptive tag to the title "Nature's Notebook" (e.g., "Nature's Notebook at UCSB" or "Nature's Notebook in Northern California").
2. Provides a brief description of the national program. The suggested text is "Nature's Notebook is the plant and animal phenology observation program of the USA National Phenology Network (www.usanpn.org)"; however, modifications that do not change meaning are acceptable.
3. Provides a link to the USA-NPN website (www.usanpn.org) within or in close proximity to this description.
4. Inform the USA-NPN National Coordinating Office (nco@usanpn.org) of your Nature's Notebook project. Alerting us to your project will enable us to inform you of any improvements we make to the program, and to direct interested observers to your project.

We recommend, but do not require, a brief description of how the project is a local or regional implementation of the national program, e.g., "Nature's Notebook at UCSB is a local implementation of the USA-NPN Nature's Notebook program."

We also allow the use of the Nature's Notebook logo (below), provided it is not modified. High-resolution digital versions of the logo may be requested by emailing partners@usanpn.org.
