Better Watch Your Backyard: Tracking Oregon's Seasons

Changes in things like bloom timing, the amount/type of precipitation your area receives, or other seasonal phenomena are exactly the kinds of thing the folks behind Oregon Season Tracker are trying to understand. This ongoing community science project teams up volunteers, natural resource managers, educators, and researchers to further the understanding of weather and climate and their effects on our local environment. You can support its efforts simply by reporting precipitation and seasonal plant changes from your own home, farm, woodland, ranch, or school—watch to learn more!

Presenter: Sarah Cameron works for Forestry & Natural Resources Extension in Clackamas County, connecting small woodland owners with local educational resources and opportunities. Part of her role includes coordination of Oregon Season Tracker, a statewide community science project.
