Vision and Mission

Vision Statement

The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to observe and record phenologies as tools to discover and explore the nature and pace of our dynamic world. The Network makes phenology data, models, and related information freely available to empower scientists, resource managers and the public in decision-making and adaptation in response to variable and changing climates and environments.

 

Mission Statement

The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) serves science and society by promoting broad understanding of plant and animal phenology and its relationship with environmental change.  The Network is a consortium of individuals and organizations that collect, share, and use phenology data, models, and related information.
