AAFC-CEF-Building 49AAFC-CEF-Building 49 is using Nature's Notebook to observe the trees around our workplace at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, ON, Canada in order to contribute to citizen science project and engage volunteers. Our group will consist of science researchers, sometimes including botanists, bioinformatics, and genomics researchers and will also have summer students and volunteers help out.

A long term monitoring program with Nature's Notebook will allow ACParks in Fort Wayne, Indiana to better understand our native plant, and animal populations. Of particular interest is the migratory animal (insect) populations seen in our parks. Recent changes in forested areas can be better managed if they monitor and record the effects of these changes. The data collected will be a tremendous resource for our school and adult groups lead in the parks. Also being monitored are the life cycles of the park's amphibian, butterfly and dragonfly populations.

Alcuin Montessori School Adolescent Program teaches a unit about "Balance" and became interested in using Nature's Notebook as a platform to integrate topics in ecology, plant biology, and climate change. Our monitoring project serves their academic goals and is a great experience for the students to contribute to a Citizen Science project. Students and their teachers will conduct observations in a local park in Oak Park, IL. The Oak Park park district has detailed information about species in this park and there are species in the park that are listed on the Green Wave Midwest campaign, such as Northern Red Oak, Red Maple, and Sugar Maple.

We are using Nature's Notebook to get students involved in the data collection that leads to climate change studies.

We are using Nature's Notebook to monitor native species of interest to the conservancy and indigenous communities in order to answer questions, establish baseline monitoring, educate and empower the community, track and study the effects of environmental and climate change, and contribute to the national database for researchers and other educators to utilize.

Appalachian State University Biology Department is using a group in Nature's Notebook called ASU Biology incorporating phenology into course labs and independent research projects as part of an NSF grant to promote authentic research in the botanical sciences. This protocol and network will allow for efficient data collection and management while participating in the larger network of the USA-NPN.

Audubon Canyon Ranch stewards a system of preserves throughout Marin and Sonoma Counties in California.

At Martin Griffin Preserve in Stinson Beach, participants observe Coyote Brush phenology on a twice-monthly basis alongside sampling for live fuel moisture data.

Bouverie Preserve's Junipers (junior naturalists) are designing a phenology program - gaining experience with experimental design and learning about the importance of phenological observations.
