North Salem High School wants to contribute data to Oregon Season Trackers. They would like to be able to compare data over the years at their school campus.
Salem, Oregon
This LPP is working with students.
Ohio WILD School Sites Phenology Network is using Nature's Notebook to link all of the WILD School Sites in Ohio (165+ if they all participate) into one group to monitor the impacts that small scale habitats have on local wildlife and plant populations. They also aim for the schools to be able to compare date between sites.

Oregon Season Tracker is a Regional Phenology Network. Headed up by Jody Einerson, our project of Oregon State University aims to link natural resource managers, educators, researchers and others in the community to the science they use through collaborative citizen science. Oregon Season Tracker is working with researchers from OSU and HJ Andrews Experimental Foresty LTER to expand climate data and open channels of communication with the public across all of Oregon.

Pepperwood is an ecological institute dedicated to educating, engaging, and inspiring our community through habitat preservation, science-based conservation, leading-edge research, and interdisciplinary educational programs. As part of the California Phenology Project, citizen scientists at Pepperwood are collecting important phenological information that will be used to inform regional land management practices and conservation strategies under a changing climate.

PPZ Education in Brooklyn, NY established a group with Nature's Notebook so visitors to the zoo, including school and scout groups, as well as general visitors, can learn about citizen science, collect and submit data at the zoo, and hopefully contribute to other projects after their visit. They would also like teens to participate in this, as part of their volunteer experience. The Zoo's mission is to save wildlife and wild lands, and see citizen science as a wonderful way to spread this mission.

Prairie Ridge Tree Trail is using Nature's Notebook to monitor the trees in their forest patch to see if the trees are healthy (i.e. they have similar phenology to other trees of the same species in the region) while engaging the public in citizen science opportunities at the site. It is a research station, but also open to the public and acts as a nature center, an environmental education center, and a wildlife refuge. It is managed to promote as many species of native plants and animals as possible and has 15 acres of constructed native tallgrass prairie as the centerpiece of the 45 acre
grounds.

Radford University Phenology Monitoring in Radford, VA is using Nature's Notebook to initiate long-term phenology monitoring projects - beginning with "Field Biology & Phenology" advanced undergraduate course at Radford University. This will provide students experience in monitoring local plant and animal species (identification, structure, function, ecology, field techniques) and applied, hands-on approach to investigating seasonal changes, site and climate relationships, and associated ecological and environmental issues. Student groups would initiate monitoring projects and collect data throughout the semester; projects will be continued with small student groups during the summer, and by students in Ecology and Forest & Wetland Ecology courses in the fall and beyond.

Reginald Chavez Elementary School is using Nature's Notebook to involve their students in hands-on learning about the ecosystems and habitats around them. This will help to get students outdoors and learn more than just reading out of the science textbook and to add different lessons and projects to science classes related to Nature's Notebook and the data we collect (art projects, photography, etc). They are a part of the Rio Grande Phenology Trail.

Rio Grande National Forest in Monte Vista, CO is developing a science program utilizing and engaging students and volunteers on the RGNF using Nature's Notebook. Data from the USA -NPN is used to assess climatic variability which is one of the "Monitoring Questions" used to measure management practices in their Forest Plan, their guiding management document. This effort is to engage the public in the collection of data that helps RGNF measure the impacts of their management practices.
