Plant citizen science project

©Janet Allen
Eastern serviceberry is one of the plants I monitor

We've participated in two projects that are specifically about plants: The Viburnum Leaf Beetle Project and Yardmap.

Another project related to plants is Project BudBurst, but that is more of a climate project than purely a plant project.
