The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) Research Coordination Network (RCN) supports active communication and collaboration to promote the use of phenology as a tool to understand, mitigate and adapt to environmental variation and climate change. To meet the goals and objectives of the RCN, and as part of the implementation plan for the USA-NPN, we have created a number of working groups that meet on an as-needed basis.
