Nature’s Notebook gathers information on plant and animal phenology across the U.S. to be used for decision-making on local, national, and global scales to ensure the continued vitality of our environment. It is appropriate for scientists and non-scientists alike, engaging observers across the nation to collect phenology observations (observations of recurring plant and animal life cycle stages) on both plants and animals using scientifically-vetted observation guidelines to ensure data are useful to researchers and decision-makers.
