Citizen-Science

What is Citizen-Science?

Citizen-science is a research and educational tool used to engage a broad range of people in doing science. Through participating in citizen-science projects, everyday people engage in real and meaningful forms of science learning while contributing to scientific endeavors that scientists on their own couldn't accomplish.  These include such things as biological inventories and long-term monitoring of various ecological communities.  PLE is currently involved in two citizen-science efforts:  FrogWatch USA and iNaturalist.
