Observe Plants and Animals
Nature's Notebook has you watch a plant or animal near you and record when it leafs out, flowers, or migrates, building a long-term record of nature's timing. You pick a spot, make regular observations, and enter them online. Your notes help researchers understand how climate is shifting the seasons.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
