How to become a Menlo citizen observer

You can learn how to participate in the  volunteer network that is providing scientists with needed information about changes in seasonal patterns occurring in plant and animal life at a lecture tonight (3/25) given by Jake Weltzin, Executive Director of the USA National Phenology Network.

Weltzin’s organization is bringing together citizen observers, scientists, natural resource managers, and the academic community to share observations of plants and animals through the internet, providing new data about changes in biological ecosystems that are impacting global climate conditions.

The lecture, free and open to the public, is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Building 3, 2nd floor auditorium at the U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Rd. in Menlo Park.
