College of Menominee Nation Phenology Walk in Keshena, Wisconsin aims to engage students and community in observing the land.

Columbia College Forestry and Natural Resources is using Nature's Notebook in a series of Cal Nat, Ecology, and Climate Change courses which involve natural observation. One course a semester will be suing the Local Phenology Project to add to the same data set for the college and national program. Our LPP is most interested in baseline data and change over time.

The Collaborative established the New York Phenology Project is a community-science initiative to investigate changing plant and pollinator phenology across an urban to rural gradient in lower NY.

We are using Nature's Notebook to create a community engagement, student education, and ecological monitoring tool at our non-profit nature preserve, which is free to the public and accessible to great variety of people. We will coordinate several tiers of data collection: Comprehensive phenological monitoring, to inform our conservation and land stewardship priorities; School group activities, to include phenology into our educational programming; Incidental and opportunistic data collection from visitors to the preserve, to bolster engagement from community members in science and ecological monitoring.

Part of the California Phenology Project

We are using volunteers to collect data on a long-term experiment that is a collaboration between the National Park Service, City of St. Paul, University of Minnesota and Mississippi Park Connection (https://parkconnection.org/). The last is the non-profit partner of the Mississippi River National River and Recreation Area. The project is part of the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change Network (https://www.adaptivesilviculture.org/). We have planted tree from three different zones and understanding the role of phenology in their responses is critical to determining whether they are appropriate species or genotypes to recommend for future planting. Nature's Notebook simplifies our data collection!

We aim to use Nature's Notebook to give students the opportunity to engage in meaningful science and data collection within the Denver metro region. A second goal of this program is to collect data on how tree phenology varies within the Denver metro region, and use this for the basis for research on urban forest health, spatial distribution of ecosystem services within urban areas, and urban forest response to climate change.

To start with, 9th grade environmental science students will be using Nature's Notebook.  Potentially other departments at the school could use it as well. Integrating modern and historical phenology observations into a environmental science curriculum.

Desert View High School is participating in Nature's Notebook with the Tucson Phenology Trail. Our high school is working with a team to get public school students connected to the national park through citizen science. The first step is to get students engaged on campus and then take that experience and connect it to similar experiences at the park. This group at Desert View is a small piece to this much bigger project. We plan to formulate questions, collect data and then analyze that data along with data that has been collected by others in the past to investigate ecosystems and climate change.
