Phenology Walk Training: Track the Climate Change Through Plants
Join us for a guided training to learn how to observe and record the seasonal rhythms of plants in our local ecosystem!

Phenology is the study of natural life cycle events—like flowering, fruiting, and leaf-out—that signal seasonal change. By tracking these visible shifts over time, we can better understand how plant communities respond to climate, habitat conditions, and environmental change.

At this event, you’ll learn how to:
• Conduct a phenology walk using standardized observation protocols
• Identify key life stages in native plants (budding, flowering, fruiting, leaf drop, and more)
• Help track long-term changes in plant populations and their ecological timing

This event is free, but please RSVP HERE to join.

Some plant ID experience is preferred, but not required—training and field guides will be provided. Whether you’re a plant lover, student, educator, or curious naturalist, this is a great way to connect with the landscape and contribute to community science. This event is open to participants age 16 and older.
