Citizen Science Challenge
Try Science; Invent the Future.
Project Budburst, March 29 - April 12
Ready for Spring? Track subtle changes in the seasons by documenting first leaves, buds, and flowers! Join the national network monitoring climate change one plant at a time. Grab your team and get outside!
The Rules:
Task will run for two weeks- Friday, March 29th-Friday, April 12th.
​
Teams will submit a screenshot of their My BudBurst Data Viewer and a picture of each tree/plant they submitted an observation of into their shared Dropbox folder

Submit one observation per phenophase per species (i.e., do not submit 15 observations of Ginko trees in early leaf. Seperate entries for early, med, late, flowering in one Ginko is okay)

The team with the most observations wins
Preparation is easy! You will need:
1. A shared Dropbox folder with Allison & Purdom (ajscripa@vt.edu and purdom6@vt.edu)

2. Login for Project Budburst

3. A team
